Lifestyle in “Pátios” and “Becos”
“Pátios” and “becos” are the lowest existing level of roads in Macao. In the past, most local residents lived in buildings in such “pátios” and “becos” where they would set up tables and chairs in the public space between the buildings for eating, playing and chatting. This is how they would maintain close contact and connection with their neighbours. This route links a series of characteristic “pátios” and “becos” in an attempt to evoke memories of those bygone days and help residents revive their collective memories of the past.
