There is this one on the path between the Bus Station and the Parque da Alfarrobeira, near the stadium. Something's missing surely, apart from the top of his head?

I'm impressed by the public sculptures around town and also as you leave the airport.

Missed this one, on the esplanada at the Sol e Mar hotel. It's called Seated Woman. The plaques refer to a group called Arteserra, who can find on Facebook and Instagram.

I'm looking forward to going to see then in person in mid June πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰]]> Thu, 30 Dec 2021 20:53:12 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/sculptures-around-town_topic12040_post116001.html#116001 <![CDATA[Sculptures around town : They look permanent to me.

They look permanent to me. Each one has a plaque with the title of the object and the name of the creator, plus a semi official looking logo. I will have a closer look.

I wonder (optimistically) if these are the result of a grant-aided competition for artists - or some other way to inject funding to support local artists? A long shot on my behalf, but it might explain the diversity of sculptures! Fair play to the Camara is that is the case.

An older one on the Cais Herculano


Up at the top of the escaltors


Not really a statue, but in the same genre. A receptacle hoping people put therir empty plastic bottles here rather than leave them on the beach.


Avenida da Liberdade


Porta Sant' Ana

Cool sculpture πŸ‘
I also love that little bar. Unique setting with lovely family running it for many years, who love chatting about the work that went into making it so beautiful.]]> Mon, 27 Dec 2021 20:45:59 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/sculptures-around-town_topic12040_post115976.html#115976 <![CDATA[Sculptures around town : Lovely.

Quite a number are appearing, often fashioned from scrap or wire. This one is up on the old town hill near the Sant' Ana gate. It's an eagle grabbing a snake.


I will get some more if there is another sunny day!
