Amazing tour & left with a tile older than USA!
Azulejos de Azeitão的点评
点评：We had a tour while on an OAT/Grand Circle trip. This was a highlight of our trip! They explained the handmade process they use to make the tiles, the same as has been done for centuries (except they do use an electric cutter). It was interesting to learn that the tiles that are air dried will last much longer than dried by machinery - half a century vs a hundred or so years! They paint them all by hand!
We were able to paint our own tiles, which is so very much harder than it would seem! I didn’t finish so we didn’t have them fired/returned to us.
The souvenir shop was such a treat! We barely buy anything on our trips, and if we do, it would be one that has significant emotional value. For this trip through Spain and Portugal, we found the one we had to have - they had a small bin of original tiles from before the USA actually existed! Such a unique thing to come home with. Note that they do not tear these out of homes and buildings haphazardly - it is only the ones that are unable to be restored. This meant so much to us to bring home something with a full life of history of its own.
I definitely suggest a tour and bringing home a piece of history with your heart like we did!

翻译：我们在 OAT/Grand Circle 旅行期间参观了一次。这是我们旅行的亮点！他们解释了他们制作瓷砖的手工工艺，与几个世纪以来的做法相同（除了他们使用电动切割机）。有趣的是，风干的瓷砖比机器干燥的瓷砖使用寿命更长 - 半个世纪对一百年左右！他们用手工绘制所有瓷砖！
我们可以自己绘制瓷砖，这比看起来要难得多！我没有完成，所以我们没有将它们烧制/归还给我们。
纪念品商店真是太棒了！我们在旅行中几乎不买任何东西，如果我们买的话，那将是具有重大情感价值的东西。在这次西班牙和葡萄牙之旅中，我们找到了我们必须拥有的东西 - 他们有一小箱原始瓷砖，这些瓷砖来自美国实际存在之前！带回家的东西真是太独特了。请注意，他们不会随意地从房屋和建筑物中撕下这些瓷砖 - 他们只会撕下那些无法修复的瓷砖。这对我们来说意义重大，因为我们可以带回家一件本身就充满历史气息的东西。
我绝对建议你去参观一下，像我们一样，用心带回家一件历史作品！
