St Johns, Canada

In Canada, those who wish to stroll through the colourful fairy-tale streets should go to the town of St. John's. The center of this city can be called the brightest place in the country. On the slopes of the hills, old houses were painted in bright colours, and from afar, resemble a scattering of chocolate pellets covered with colourful glaze. Local residents were so pleased with such associations, that they called the quay of the colorful district Jellybean Row, "The Candy Street".

It is noteworthy that the tradition to paint the facades of houses in bright colors in the city was born in the Victorian era. This tradition is associated with a funny legend about local fishermen. After returning home late at night, many of them confused their homes in the dark. In order not to get lost again, fishermen began to paint the walls of the houses in various bright colours. In fact, this legend is a pure fiction. History is silent about the occurence of the interesting tradition.
