Segundo Vhils, esta obra teve “dois a três meses de preparação e mais quatro semanas de trabalho com os calceteiros”.

Obra que é capa do disco “Amália e as vozes do Fado”, foi pensada pelo realizador Ruben Alves e criada pelo artista de Arte Urbana, Vhils. Os Mestres da “Escola de Calceteiros” da Câmara de Lisboa gravaram minuciosamente o rosto de Amália em calçada portuguesa na sua totalidade em tons brancos, rosas e negros na rua de São Tomé.

Teve como objetivo de homenagear a Amália, mas acima de tudo a CALÇADA que é também um símbolo da força da nossa história e cultura.

According to Vhils, this work had "two to three months of preparation and four more weeks of working with the Portuguese Pavement Craftsmen".

Work that is cover of the disc "Amália and the voices of the Fado", was thought by the director Ruben Alves and created by the artist of Urban Art, Vhils. The Masters the "School of Portuguese Pavement Craftsmen " of of the Lisbon Chamber meticulously recorded the Amália face Portuguese pavement entirely in white tones, pink and black on the street São Tomé.

It was intended to pay homage to Amália, but above all, the PORTUGUESE PAVEMENT that is also a symbol of the strength of our history and culture.

Our Lady of the Castle Church in Mangualde, Viseu - Portugal

At the beginning of the century. XV was raised a chapel dedicated to St. Mary of the Castle on a terrace not far from the top of the mountain in memory of the battlebetween soldiers of Trancoso in Portugal and Castile.

Later another chapel was erected, replacing the first. And the chapel was maintained until 1832, when the enthronement of the image of Our Lady of the Castle in the temple that still stands on the flattened top of the hill, sent up in the piety of Miguel Pais de Sá Menezes.

The chapel building is a simple but sleek lines which highlights the uniqueness of a steep high tower high on the facade. The interior of the temple shows a bright elegantmain chapel altarpiece whose neoclassical flavor rises over high steps. The image of the Virgin with its sovereign boy thrives in Central throne.

Situated close to the sea and traditionally a fishing village, Cascais enjoyed an important period of development in the 14th century, when it was a major stopping off point for boats on their way to Lisbon, turning it into a very busy port at that time.

Cascais also began to attract the attention of the curious, who came here to enjoy a stroll by the seaside, and access to the town was greatly facilitated by the opening of the railway line between Pedrouços and Cascais in 1889. Nowadays, Cascais is a very lively and cosmopolitan town that still preserves a great deal of its earlier aristocratic atmosphere.

It was, however, in the second half of the 19th century, when sea bathing became a popular activity, that Cascais was given the impetus that transformed it into a very fashionable summer resort. The great driving force behind this transformation was the king of Portugal, Dom Luís I, who, in 1870, converted the Fortaleza da Cidadela into the summer residence of the Portuguese monarchy. The king’s example was immediately copied by the nobility, who built palaces and extremely beautiful villas in the town, where they spent the hottest season of the year, completely transforming the appearance of the former fishing village.

Particularly recommended is a stroll through its streets, where you will find shops of the highest quality, or perhaps you might prefer to enjoy a few moments’ rest at one of the many outdoor cafés and restaurants scattered about the town. The beaches continue to be one of Cascais’ greatest attractions, and it is possible to choose from amongst those that are situated in the town’s sheltered bay or those a little further away in the area around Guincho, (already forming part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park), where there are excellent conditions for surfing and windsurfing. The Boca do Inferno (literally the Jaws of Hell), an inlet along the coast that is surrounded by steep rocks and caves, continues to be a natural curiosity attracting many thousands of visitors to marvel at the brute strength of the sea.

A special mention is reserved for the local cuisine, especially the fresh fish and shellfish dishes that are served here and which can be enjoyed in the region’s many restaurants.

Viseu is a city of contrasts, with history and memory, modernity and greenery - a city in the heart from Portugal!

Viseu

Best known for its velvety red wines and luscious gastronomic delights, Viseu will entice you with its vibrant folklore festivals, pastoral scenery and plentiful collection of cultural gems.

Roughly half way between Porto and Coimbra, the rural district of Viseu nestles in the heart of the winemaking Dão-Lafões sub-region, a landscape formed by lush pine forests, crystalline rivers and some of the most reputable vineyards in the country.

Across the western border of the district lays the Serra do Caramulo, a 1,075 metre-high (3,500 feet) range known for its fresh mountain water, sleepy schist villages and golden-coloured honey. On clear, sunny days one may climb Caramulinho, the highest peak on the range, to enjoy dramatic views of the distant Serra da Estrela (Mountains of the stars).

You will find the district’s prime attractions in its capital – the city of Viseu. Head to the historical Adro da Sé square and enter the richly embellished cathedral that stands in its centre. Go to the nearby Renaissance art museum and let your eyes wander from painting to painting and book a wine tour of the Solar do Dão to reward your taste buds with slow-paced sips of this region’s full-bodied wine. Also explore the Cava do Viriato, a pentagonal shaped park believed to have once been the military camp of the Lusitanian leader Viriato – a legendary warrior who protected Viseu from Roman invaders long ago.

Try the district’s renowned smoked ham and exquisite sparkling wine in the northern city of Lamego and be sure to visit some of its most significant religious landmarks such as the 12th Century Santa Maria de Almacave Church and the São Pedro de Balsemão Chapel – the second oldest temple in the Iberian Peninsula.

The hilltop town of Sernancelhe is home to a wonderful medley of lovely manor houses and palaces and is widely known for its esteemed pilgrimage site, the 17th Century Nossa Senhora da Lapa Sanctuary. Three times a year, religious mass’s and processions are held to honour this local saint – an age-old tradition that continues to attract large crowds of faithful pilgrims from all over the country. To discover typical homes constructed from schist stone, visit Aldeia da Pena and Aldeia da Póvoa Dão, picturesque villages that exemplify the medieval influence that still remains in many parts of the district today.
