#streetart #VilaNovaDeGaia #Portugal

While walking aimlessly through Vila Nova de Gaia I came across this painted staircase.  What could be just a staircase without any attractions has become a beautiful example of how art can improve our relationship with the environment around us.

Ao passear sem destino por Vila Nova de Gaia deparei-me com esta escadaria toda pintada. O que poderia ser apenas uma escadaria sem nenhum atrativo transformou-se num belo exemplo de como a arte pode melhorar a nossa relação com o ambiente que nos cerca.
Welcoming place.

Talvez a Estação de São Bento seja a mais bonita estação de caminhos de ferro de Portugal. A vez anterior em que visitei a estação, alguns painéis de azulejos estavam em trabalho de restauro. Nesta última visita verifiquei, com satisfação, que o trabalho tinha sido concluído e pude assim contemplar os painéis em todo o seu esplendor.

Maybe São Bento Station is the most beautiful railway station in Portugal. The previous time I visited the station, some tile panels were in restoration work. On this last visit, I noticed with satisfaction that the work had been completed and I was able to contemplate the panels in all their splendor.
