Hero Background

In the center of Ílhavo, stories and tales of the land and the sea – walking tour (Balão Mágico)

The labyrinthine urban territory, full of colorful and well-kept alleys and lanes, piques the curiosity of even the least curious people... But where does this apparent amalgam of buildings, tiles and sidewalks, gates and windows, and many other ingredients that result in this harmonious visual "melting pot" come from? What "crazy" artist would dare to mix styles, colors and patterns where only the absence of gray is noticeable? And what does the sea have to do with all this? These and other stories lead us through the urban fabric of Ilhavo in search of the logic and meaning of what surrounds and inspires us, of the inspired and inspiring lives of its protagonists...
