These rooves are very different from the ones I have shared over the past two days, they are though only a short distance from the others. They are in Olhão as are these paintings by a early 20th century Portuguese artists Roberto Nobre. If you want to learn more about Olhão’s unusual roofscape – Terra Cubista – visit a Portuguese post I wrote a few months ago.

Yes the north African influence is very clear 🙂

odd though why they did it as by then most of the Moors had left.

That’s different! All these posts from the Algarve are making me very envious of the people who have visited the area.

This is fascinating, Becky – the artwork here and the Olhão community in the earlier post. I have some more Indian Ocean roofs: https://tishfarrell.com/2018/06/20/looking-down-on-lamu/

Oh I’m so glad you had time to visit the other post. It is a fascinating town, however a tad unkempt and certainly unfashionable so not everyone loves it as much as we do. Think that’s a good thing though!
Loving your Indian Ocean roofs. They are wonderful. I’ve made a note to myself to come back and read all the other posts in a few weeks when I can give them the time and attention they deserve.
