Oh Jose, I loved this station! We spent a week in Porto, and went out on trains to nearby towns and villages. The tiles are amazing!
So lovely to see it!
Um abraço...D

Thank you so Much Diana.
They are really well made and from a distance most people think they are a painting in the wall.
Am happy to know you had a good time around.
Cheers and courage down under for your terrible disaster.
Um abraço Diana.
