Great place for the best photos ever and an iconic place featured in music videos such as Snoop Dogg's "Beautiful". Some background: In 1990, Selarón began renovating dilapidated steps that ran along the front of his house. It started out as a side-project to his main passion, painting, but soon became an obsession. He found he was constantly out of money, so Selarón sold paintings to fund his work and also tiles were donated from all over the world. It was long and exhausting work but he continued on and eventually covered the entire set of steps in tiles, ceramics and mirrors.
