Street art in Porto is not the city’s main attraction. One goes there rather to stroll in its steep and narrow streets, to discover the thousands of azulejos which decorate the facades of the churches, to visit magnificent places with Art Deco architecture and of course to taste a small Porto (be careful, alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health). But here I was spending three days in Porto and couldn’t help trying to discover what the city could offer us in terms of Urban Art, especially since its policy is rather open to graffiti artists and since 2013 some monumental works had even been made on commission! With extremely capricious weather and permanent downpours, my research was limited to the city centre! My greatest surprise was to discover that in this beautiful city the artists were almost all Portuguese and that no one had given in to the temptation to have big international names in urban art… But in fact; the Portuguese have some \u00ab\u00a0big names\u00a0\u00bb and not the least!<\/p>\n
