Thus, each figure describes its own movement, but always with a common factor: the expression of a hilarious laugh.
So, when you go for a walk in the Jardim da Cordoaria, sit next to these statues and take a funny photo
Where: Cordoaria Garden
O Ardina – Statue
The “Ardina”, near the “avenida dos aliados” represents the newspaper seller that used to make his living there. This statue is supported by a mailbox. So, it was in an expressive way that it announced the good news and the bad national and international news. He was the promoter of reading and information. At a time when, in addition to television and radio, buying a newspaper was synonymous with being well informed. The newspaper was part of everyday life of the people of Porto, at home, at the café and at work, the newspaper could not be missing.
It is because of this that many tourists take funny pictures next to the statue, as if the two were having a conversation.
Where: Praça da Liberdade (near of Avenida dos Aliados)
