Contour-following roads
The streets bend around the hillsides and give the map a flowing, organic pattern. Very few routes run in a straight line for long.

The map
São Pedro da Cova is a parish in the municipality of Gondomar, in the hills east of Porto. On a map the streets rarely run straight. They follow the contours, curving up and around slopes, and houses line them in long ribbons instead of compact blocks. Patches of woodland and open hillside break up the built-up areas, so the map combines dense residential lines with softer empty ground.
For much of the twentieth century São Pedro da Cova was a coal-mining community. Its mines were among the most important in Portugal until they closed in 1970. Traces of that past, including the old mine buildings and the miners’ neighbourhoods, remain part of local identity, and the parish still remembers itself as a working town.
A São Pedro da Cova map poster shows the character of a place built on uneven ground. Roads branch and loop across the hills, clusters of houses gather wherever the land allows, and the parish edges run into the wider Porto metropolitan area. It is a specific, unpolished map for people who know the place as home, not as a view from the Douro riverfront.
The streets bend around the hillsides and give the map a flowing, organic pattern. Very few routes run in a straight line for long.
The coal mines that defined the parish until 1970 shaped where people settled. Neighbourhoods grew near the old workings and along the roads that served them.
Wooded slopes and open land separate the clusters of houses. On the poster they leave light spaces between the street patterns, which keeps the composition airy.

Why São Pedro da Cova
Many families in São Pedro da Cova trace their roots to the mining years, and many others have moved there more recently from Porto. A map poster suits both. It is a record of place and a quiet tribute to the people who built the parish.
