"I prefer to be behind the camera. It's my happy place, where I feel most confident".
This mural shows Amândio de Sousa, a photographer from Ponte de Lima. At the age of 30, he began his professional career as a photographer, promoting, at the same time, exhibitions, interventions in schools and tributes to personalities from Ponte de Lima. You can find it along de camino, on a pilar of the Ponte da Nossa Senhora da Guia / N201.
This mural is part of "Las Estrellas del Camino". There are 10 different paintings on the way from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. Each mural represents a local protagonist with a story of personal struggle that reflects their connection to their land or path. They are artists, artisans or athletes who embody the spirit of the pilgrim, with values such as overcoming and brotherhood.
