Portuguese cobblestone pavement waves in pink apron

Portuguese cobblestone is one of the iconic hallmarks of Lisbon. The city has numerous pathways with this enchanting stone dance of black and white. This form of street art began in the historic Rua Nova dos Mercadores, back in 1498, under the royal charter of King Manuel I. The cobblestone masters once executed their craft with unmatched precision and the material's resilience only added to this captivating artistry's magic. Today, Portuguese cobblestone adorns many locations all over the world from New York to Brazil but Lisbon remains the ultimate stage to witness the brilliance of the old masters. So, when visiting the capital of Portugal we can look up to the beautiful buildings and monuments but also to the ground only to be surprised by the presence of sea animals, birds, ships, flowers, and patterns made of stone at our feet. Rossio Square stands as an emblematic showcase, with its iconic "waves" that were the inspiration for this illustration. This Portuguese cobblestone pavement in waves has a fashionable pink and it makes a nice surprise that you can send/offer to a Portuguese friend, a relative, a Portuguese American, someone of Portuguese descent, or someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions and culture. You can personalise the text and change the photo so you can use this photo frame for multiple purposes. I invite you to try changing the pink background colour with the Zazzle Design tool so the waves can gain a new colour: just pick your favourite colour. The traditional black and white colour is available.
