Painting Sea Houses

Actualizado: 20 ene 2020

Location: Costa Nova, Portugal


Colour of the route: Green


Historical comment about the place: Throughout the 19th century, fishermen from Ílhavo began to move to Costa Nova because the new shore line gave them easier access to sea than in São Jacinto. So, they began to build huts, storages and shelters for the seamen and the fishing boats of the Lagoon. The first huts were built with local materials and stood on top of stakes pitched on the dry sand of Costa Nova. The outside planks were horizontal and painted in bright red welcoming the sea with colour and energy. The interior space was wide and didn’t have any divisions as it was simply a storage house. As the years went by, some fishermen began to transform the huts and turned them into living spaces where several families would live during the summer.
