So what’s it all about?

It seems the local council thought it would be a good idea to enlist the help of these local artists to brighten up the ‘old town’. This area of Funchal is a maze of quaint backstreets, many with cafe’s and bars alongside traditional dwellings, but the years haven’t been kind and the buildings were beginning to show their age, but the unique idea of using the doors as a canvas for some stunning pieces of art has certainly created a buzz in the streets.
