Why This Town Looks Like a Bag of Skittles

Burano, an island near Venice, is famous for its brightly colored houses, which locals say help fishermen find their way home in the fog. The vibrant colors also follow a specific system where homeowners need to get government approval for their chosen hue. Other colorful spots around the world include Chefchaouen in Morocco, known as the "Blue City" because its buildings are painted in various shades of blue, and the Rainbow Village in Taiwan, which a former soldier transformed into an explosion of color to save it from demolition. Then there's La Boca in Buenos Aires, where colorful houses reflect the neighborhood's lively tango culture. These places aren't just eye candy—they're packed with fascinating stories and unique traditions. #brightside Credit: Glass Beach: World Wide Gifts - https://flic.kr/p/fGiKjc, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
