  Calçada
by micas_pt
 
 

Most pedestrian streets in Portugal are build with stone in a typical Portuguese "way" called "calçada". My photo shows an example of Portuguese calçada. The square pieces of white and grey stone are placed together in order to make a design - this particular one shows squares, but there are shapes and designs. Some other streets are simpler and are just plain white.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
