COSTA RICA CONFIDENTIAL — Wandering the streets of Barrio Amon in downtown San José, moving from one massage parlour to the next or just exercising the wondering eye, many had wondered about the tiles : Hand painted tiles.
Tile art is everywhere in this neighborhood. It is on the exterior walls of private homes, and on hotel walls. It is on office buildings. It is hidden in private alcoves. Some of it jumps out at you and some of it you have to look for.
Micheal Miller, author of the first and only guide book that focuses on Downtown San Jose, Costa Rica, titled The Real San José has snapped pictures of this great work of art.
I’ve included a couple of them here, but to see the full report and all of the photos, head over to QCostarica.
