A very evocative street scene Here's a translation for those who prefer English: A housing complex reminiscent of the 20's that became a cortico. (Cortiço, or gueto, is a Portuguese term used in Brazil and Portugal for an area of concentrated, high density urban housing where people live with poor sanitation and hygiene conditions. Or perhaps it is comparable to a favela?)
