“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” – Pablo Picasso
In the early 2010s, the historic downtown of Funchal on Madeira Island, Portugal, found itself with quiet streets and many abandoned buildings. To combat this decay, the city council collaborated with local artists to revitalize and beautify the street of Rua de Santa Maria by painting elaborate designs on as many doors as possible. Today, tourists flock from all over to admire the wondrous art, and the city now has a new lease on life.
Thanks to this flourishing art scene and a geocacher named luisftas, Funchal gained another priceless asset in February 2012 in the form of a beloved Multi-Cache. In its decade-long existence, our Geocache of the Week, Arte de Portas Abertas (GC3D4F9), has accumulated a whopping 688 Favorite points. Take a stroll down Rua de Santa Maria with us and see what makes this cache so special!
We highlight special geocaches from around the world each week—and what a year it’s been! We saw a fantastic variety of geocaches, ranging from a well-engineered Multi-Cache hidden in Poland, a handcrafted Letterbox Hybrid in Canada, an epic journey to a hobbit hole in New Zealand, to a video game-inspired cache in Germany, and many more.
We looked at the geocaches you liked most on our blog, Facebook, and Twitter to assemble a list of the top 9 to share. Let us know your favorites:
