The Blue Tiles of Portugal

Portugal is famous for its blue tiles. Almost every building - at least it seems this way to me - has a tile facade. The tiles are part of what makes Porto such a beautiful city.

Here's a picture collage I made from a trip to Porto a few years ago.



The train depot has some amazing tile scenes that tell the history of Portugal.
