Azulejos

 

Artisan and traditional tiles from Portugal. For hundreds of years these tiles have been the mark, the art, the pearls and jewels on the walls all over Portugal and in many other places in the world.

 These tiles aren´t only a decoration on a wall but illustrations of the times of the great richness of Portugal's history. Since the time of Portugal kingdoms, of the kings and queens... 

Since the times of the discoveries and conquests...

Hummm

These ones are artesanal but not traditional. They are whatever each person may see in it and can imagine.

These tiles are artesanal, handmade and mainly painted in white and blue, the predominant colors.

Question, why not in white and black? 

Wanders

White and blue seem to be the most appreciative colors, to paint, decorate, whatever, the walls.

White, blue and yellow tiles can be fond too in many places. As well painted with flowered colors.

Infante Dom Henrique, o Navegador. 

Well, Henry the navigator has never sailed, through seas never before sailed. He has a great history but never sailed and left Portugal.
