I just returned from 5 days in Madeira Island. It was supposed to be 6 but the weather was not kind to us on Friday. We boarded our flight, got so close to landing and the powers that be decided it wasn't safe to land. Madeira airport the world's ninth most dangerous airport, and the third most dangerous in Europe.
The Painted Doors
In 2014, when the “Art of Open Doors” project was started, the street was turned into a public art space, as local artists were invited to paint over two hundred of the street’s restaurants, cafes and shops.
These were just a few of the 200 doors, but hopefully you get a taste of what this revitalization project has to offer.
My following were my favorites.
I had to wait a long time to take this photo. There was a man standing in front of this door smoking.
