Look down, Portugal (4 pics)

avatar

I like small European towns.

They are often full of charm, we meet nice people there, we eat well and it allows us to make beautiful discoveries.

Today, I am lingering on the floor... We never pay too much attention to it, but it is essential.

Some cities from south Portugal have decided to highlight it... let's take a look.


We agree that for each of the examples given, meticulous work had to be done to obtain this result.

  • Loulé

A charming little town in which you can admire Roman ruins, an old mosque with its minaret and a castle.

A little bit of everything for everyone.

  • Lagos

Lagos has over 2000 years of history and was colonized by the Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Byzantines and Moors.

It also has its castle and sublime beaches on the cliff side.

The shopping street is very beautiful with this beautiful ceramic over the entire length.

  • Nazaré

Today recognized for its beaches and surfing, the city experienced many piracy problems by the Viking, the French, the English and the Dutch until the beginning of the 19th century.

I believe that NSC logo that we see here is for the city sport club.

  • Tomar

The Castle and Convent of the Templars have been emblems of the city since the 12th century.

It is also the main reason for going to this city.

It is therefore normal to find symbols of the Order of the Templars on the streets.

I don't know about you, but I appreciate these little touches of décor put in place to enhances our walks.
