Tile painting
Introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Arabs, tiles were kept as a
tradition and had an important role during the reconstruction of the
city, after 1755's earthquake.
Both art and utility, tiles are one of the most symbolic elements of Lisbon.
During
this 3hour walking tour you'll have the opportunity to explore the
historical centre and see some of the most amazing examples of tiles,
from the 16th centre until nowadays, and also see the wide range of
places where they were/are put.
Since there's no better way to learn
something than experiencing it, at the end of this tour you'll have the
opportunity to paint a tile yourself!
This workshop will take place in
the iconic neighbourhood of Alfama, you'll have someone explaining you
how to do it, and you can stay there painting for as long as you enjoy.
In the pictures you can see Rose and Craig during their tour. They asked me to create it as a customised tour but it turned out to be so interesting that I decided to include it in the tours list. Thanks for the great idea!
