One of the beautiful things about Portuguese streets and pavements in the intricate stonework that forms patterns and divides the street scene into clear areas. I mentioned this in a
previous post last year. Although the
calçada portuguesa as it is called is very beautiful, it does have some restrictions. For example, when there are roadworks or a traffic accident, these stones get chewed up and, as is always the case, once they're up, it's hard to get them back exactly as they were.
