Some boxes have phrases which are typically "Porto speak", and not really correctly written either.
Here are two of those boxes painted by Godmess and Sem.
For other murals from around the world please follow this link:
This first one correctly written would be: "Esta na hora de vergar a mola" meaning "It's time to work hard".
Hope you enjoyed these colourful boxes, lots more to follow in the next weeks.
Mimos do Norte, a que estarei atenta se lá for passear! Boas dicas!

ReplyDeleteThanks Karl.
DeleteI love that "tile"-style!

DeleteMuch more appealing than drab utility boxes, these are fun & artful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, they do look so much better painted.
DeleteI really like that you chose electrical boxes to share this time. They are very cleverly done, too, even if the language was wrong.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. Porto people are know to pronounce the V's as B's, so that's making fun of it I suppose.
DeleteIt makes you wish that all of these boxes were painted up so nicely!
ReplyDeleteThat's true Pat, it doesn't take much and they look fabulous!
DeleteConfesso que me passaram completamente despercebidos quando estive no Porto.
ReplyDeleteLOL, desde que publico os murais estou bem mais atenta Pedro, antes tambem acho que mal os via.
DeleteThey look super Sami, I've noticed this happening more and more here too, especially in Freo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, they do make the boxes look so much better.
DeleteDon't they look good ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
