Monday Murals - Setubal I, Portugal

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  Thanks Sami

Murals seen in the lovely coastal port city of Setubal, on the northern bank of the Sado River.

We walked around the town with our friends who live there and the pedestrian streets in the business centre has so many murals, that I was in Mural Heaven!!

  1. Dear Sami, I believe you completely that you were in mural heaven. I also love it when shop fronts or shutters are artistically painted, like here! All the best from Austria 🤗

  5. Lots of interesting murals in Portugal, Sami. I like the first one best, but I don't know who he is :)

    1. That's a good question Patricia. That is Manuel Bocage, a Portuguese writer and poet who was born in Setúbal in 1765.

  7. Businesses that have shutters make me feel like I am in an unsafe area, but having murals on the shutters makes much less of an unsafe feeling impact.

    1. It seems to be quite common in some areas in Portugal and even more common in Spain. I have no idea why, but Setúbal is quite safe and that was a pedestrian only area.

  10. Love these. What a great collection of murals, Sami.
    I used to see murals like these on jewelry store shutters in my home state of Kerala. There aren't many of them, now -- I believe. :(
    Thank you so much for hosting, Sami. :)

  16. These are all so great but the pretend windows on the building are my fav. We have a Paris street scene down in a similar style up the road - a cafe, I should say, painted on the blank wall....
