Painted for ESTAU in 2018 on the low wall beside the parish church at Largo Doutor Egas Moniz, in Pardilhó. Four panels for four trades this parish lived on: boatbuilding, weaving, the bunho reed mats still made here, and tamancos, the wooden clogs. Galo works in flat red, blue, black and white, and draws the hands doing the work larger than the people doing it.
Estarreja's urban art festival runs 12 to 20 September, a decade after it started. Ten artists are painting, and the town's permanent collection is already close to a hundred pieces.
