Visit Station Railways Vide

Station Vide is a building with graceful lines, pleasing in its path in its granite worked in the eaves and talon and beautiful panels of polychrome tiles, painted by L Batistini in 1933.
The motives of the exterior panels are even suggestive. There are pigs in the meadow, picking olives, costumes and the village field, horse breeding, sheep herding, with threshing wheat beasts, drawing the cork, plowing the land with mules, sowing, harvesting, transportation of wheat for threshing, the Clock Tower at Town Hall and the Pillory.
High on the facade, there is another panel framed with flowers, a coat of Quinas the center.
The station was decommissioned decades ago and recently underwent an intervention of recovery and adaptation transforming it into the present magnificent Queen Cottages Leonor.
