Tavira is an adorable town, a small gem down in the Algarve area of Portugal. The place has a laid back, traditional vibe, still holding on to its fishing heritage. The visual highlight is, of course, the classic blue tile work on many houses, that lovely Azulejo design.
A typical block of apartments, covered in Azulejo tile work. Fancy.
Buildings that aren't slathered in tiles are usually finished with a whitewash and bright color accents. If you're going all tile don't be afraid to cover your place.
Don't forget the back! Don't forget everything!
A closer look, starting to reveal the specific design of the Azulejo tile that was chosen. Repair job. The designs are endless, beyond the color restriction. Matching can be tricky.
A little break from the march of blue tile. Older parts of Tavira are more humble. Smaller in scale, no tile, Spanish tile roofs that have been aged hundreds of years.
