There isn’t much Art Deco in the centre of Bruges, of course, but in the approach to Smedenpoort we saw this. Good rounded balconies and column, porthole windows:-

And that building to the left has an interesting feature – a gold figure of a seated man:-

This one was a bit nearer to Smedenpoort. Rounded balcony, pillar, rule of three in windows, projecting canopy:-

This doorway was striking:-

I photographed this pair on the way back to the car. Note canopy over central bay on the one to the left:-

It had a good doorway too:-

And that greyer one had strong banding and a projection from its roofline. Pity its eyes have been “poked out”:-

We had a serendipitous metro stop opposite this lovely stylish building in Matosinhos. Pity the metro car’s windows intrude on the clarity:-

I have no idea of the building’s purpose but it’s another striking one:-

Rule of three in the extension’s windows:-

This stunning Art Deco building fetauring a green peacock motif below the Novidade lettering is Armazéns Cunhas, a department store.

The shop’s motto is apparently “novelties, we sell cheaper.”

Next door was the mundane by comparison, Era Porto Baixa:-

Gail Edwin Aguiar has some more stunning Deco from Porto on Flickr.

And on Gail at Large, Serralves:-

The Wine Box, Porto, on the northern road approaches to Dom Luís I Bridge has Art Deco styling:-

Another tall Deco building. Note cartouche below roofline:,-

This one’s yellow paintwork emphasises the strong horizontals:-

Terrace of Deco:-

Zoom to lower down the terrace:-

Hotel Vincci, Porto, is a modern Deco style hotel by the banks of the River Douro. Helitours landing pad is in the foreground.

More of Hotel Vincci fron River Douro- plus heritage tram to left:-

Close-up. I like the clock:-

There’s a different view of the hotel here.

Almost Deco. Note Aragem sign on building in left foreground::-

We’d just walked past Aragem which had a very unusual appearance by its side door. The wall looked a sif it had part melted!:-

“Melted” wall upper portion:-

Aragem from a distance:-

Another canopied corner building:-

We discovered a fair few deco style buildings in Porto – far too many for one post

On the way down from Trindad metro station two were in the one street:-

Indeed, adjacent to each other:-

The second one had a lovely balconied curved corner aspect:-

Not to mention a good cartuche above the doorway:-

This one was a bit further on:-

There wasn’t much deco in Ferrol. We found two nice squares and this one, the Plaza de Espaňa, had a deco building on it:-

A Banca:-

Close-up showing deco detail on rounded corner:-

Balconied Deco:-

More Art Deco, Ferrol:-

Corner Deco:-

More corner deco:-

La Voe de Avilés. “Rule of three” in the middle of the balconies. Good railings; and that compass dial above the door is a neat touch:-

Balconied Corner Deco:-

A more moderne style. Springfield:-

There’s a stunning mural of a ship and castellations at upper level here. Art Deco “rule of three” on the corner. I think this was the Play House Cinema:-

Another sunburst door in Avilés:-

Art Deco styling balconies:-

Spanish Style, almost Deco:-

Some buildings in Avilés had wonderful tiling on the exterior. This was in a particularly deco style:-

A more modern take on the deco style in Avilés:-
