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.

Mafamude

While you're in Mafamude, take in top sights like El Corte Inglés de Gaia or Teixeira Lopes House Museum, and hop on the metro to see more the city at João de Deus Station or Câmara de Gaia Station.

Fun area - all the major port houses within 20-30 minutes walk of each other, even with all the up-hills and down-hills. And many smaller ones as well which can be even more fun to visit! Lots of great restaurants/outdoor dining along the river.
