#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.

A wonderful hotel, quiet hotel in the heart of Porto. Now out go to spot when we are in town. Out only annoyance on this trip was the hotel wanting an early check in fee of 30 euros even though our room was ready for us to occupy anyway.

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.
