The once sordid lower down town area of the harbour, Cais do Sodré, known for having been a haven for pimps, women of various "virtues" and mostly sailors who came ashore to enjoy a couple of hours in the bars lining its streets and which later became a rather "posh" entertainment area has now been "refurbished" thanks to the creativity of an architect, who decided to have its (I presume now) pedestrian street painted in a vibrant pink.
Whether the colour will have an impact on what goes on there at night I don't know, but the truth is it does look good and definitely different in the day light.
I wish they just painted every street in any existing vibrant colour ... or (why not) the colours of the rainbow and maybe the actual crisis wouldn't look so grim ...
