Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Terminal de passageiros de Santa Apolonia, Avenida Infante Dom Henrique Armazem B, Loja 8, Lisbon 1900-264 Portugal
Sidewalk of Santa Apolónia
Pichi&Avo Statue – Pichi&Avo are the Spanish duo that likes to put everything together in the same pot: the classic art and the rebelliousness of graffiti. And that’s exactly what they did in the most recent mural in Lisbon, on Calçada de Santa Apolónia. They added a lot of color to the recipe and the result was what you can see here – a large sculptural figure superimposed on infinite tags on the side of the building. Pichi&Avo’s line is known for its coarse brushstrokes, which are met with a more careful drawing. The mural was made within the scope of the exhibition “Versus”, at the Underdogs Gallery.
Pass By: Feira da Ladra, Campo de Santa Clara Alfama, Lisbon 1100-471 Portugal

The old wall of Jardim Botto Machado (Campo de Santa Clara / Feira da Ladra) gives way to the colorful and fantastic world of the art of André Saraiva, who created a tile mural covering the 170 meters of the wall, in its 1000 m2 , with about 53,000 tiles.

It is a work that was considered one of the 10 best in the world by the British newspaper The Guardian.
