Lisbon is decked out in tiles. Whole buildings are covered with their floral and geometric spiraling in navy, mustard, olive and terra cotta like the table cloth your grandmother spreads over her table on Sundays when your whole family goes to her house for dinner in the garden. The city has a slippery glisten as the sun hits the tiles.
In Portuguese, tile is "azulejo."
