📍 Costa Nova, Portugal 🇵🇹
Costa Nova is famous for its colorful striped houses, traditionally known as palheiros. These wooden seaside homes were originally used by fishermen to store fishing equipment and shelter their boats.
Over time, many were transformed into charming holiday homes. Their bright vertical stripes helped fishermen recognize their houses from the sea, while the colorful designs reflected the coastal character of the village.
