Costa Nova striped houses are brightly colored, wooden fishermen's houses called palheiros.
Originally used for storing fishing equipment, they were painted in vibrant stripes to help fishermen spot them on foggy days and to identify their houses.
These structures were later converted into summer residences and are now a local tourist attraction - and here we tourist are.
