HitM | Protective Colours


Colourful contribution to the Houses in the Mail project, sent by Ana (Portugal). The postcard features the traditional houses of Algarve, with their colourful bands, It is said they are to protect people inside from evil spirits (she also explained it here).

  1. That's a really interesting tradition/superstition - which results in beautiful homes (and postcards).

    1. I had the chance of visit this region in 2012 or 2013, and the villages are very pretty, as this postcard is.
