The Art Of The Azulejos - Portugal's Colored Tiles
Anyone who has ever been to Portugal will probably know them: the small, mostly blue square ceramic tiles, the so-called 'azulejos'. Especially in the capital of Lisbon they decorate many houses. Even today, the decorative tiles are still made by hand. The word azulejos does not come from the Portuguese word "azul" for blue - as one might think. It comes from Arabic and means something like "polished little stone". --------------------------------------------- Subscribe to DW Euromaxx: https://bit.ly/DWEuromaxx_Sub Would you like to find out more about Euromaxx? ▸Website: dw.com/lifestyle ▸Facebook: facebook.com/dw.euromaxx ▸Instagram: instagram.com/dw_euromaxx DW Euromaxx brings you engaging insights into European cultures and lifestyles.
