Slippery, accumulates dirt, breaks easily, high-maintenance and ugly.

>>68075337
you can walk on it

brefer assfault.

>>68076702
You literally live in favelas that have dirt roads slippery with blood or human excrement.

Are you sure you're in any position to criticize other people's roads?

It looks really good tho. It can stimulate tourism.

They are changing some to pic related so it isn't as slippery.

It looks pretty to me, OP.

>>68080368
depressing.
wouldn't it be easier to place a layer of epoxy (or something like that)?
then you make both happy

>>68080368

Now that just looks fuckugly. Surely a compromise or work-around could have been found?

>>68080460
>>68080473
Most people agree with you, they are just doing it for the sake of old people that keep slipping whenever it rains.

Slippery, accumulates dirt, breaks easily and is very high-maintenance.

But it's gorgeous and homey as fuck, and gives such an often unnoticed good look to our cities. I really miss them when abroad.

I don't mind those concrete tiles some places have, but those asphalt pavements I sometimes see are depressing as fuck.

Someone post azulejos

>>68083413
you would have a hard time getting them anyway, afaik they are only made in portugal(and perhaps some knock offs are made in brazil)

>>68083810
It wouldn't be hard to go there and just buy them, m8.

>>68080207
>t. I am greek

>>68083967

>>68084132
Nah, just order a cargo.
In what age you live, pierre?

>>68083967
>>68084180
You can probably order them, but don't buy them off the gypsy vendors at fairs.

They steal those from monuments, which is incredibly insulting.

They are very pretty, though, that's true.

Blue and white have always been the colours of Portugal, it fucking sucks that a political revolution managed to change the flag to red and green.

>>68085748
>Futebol Clube do Porto is created

I'm not a portista, but that just sucks.

>>68085748
red and green is muuuuuch better

>>68075337
Mroe than half my city has it, pretty, but not very practical.

>>68086081
it kinda makes us proud, the city was always loyal to the nation (but not the king), even though it rarely benefited from the realm's wealth. Even in our day and age, the north is the major contributer to our economy's balance, and yet you see no one flaunting it (except me right now).
It's as they say: "braga prays, porto works, coimbra studies and lisboa enjoys"
so long as it stays this way, we'll keep indulging in pride while mocking lisboetas (amongst ourselves that is) for their own arrogance

>>68089038
Yeah, but the North isn't just Porto either.

In a way I'm grateful for Lisbon to be the country's quarantine and keep away sign all at once. Should be fucking cheaper, though.

It looks good but years ago I slipped in one and fell on my back.

Shitty desu

My town has this kind of pavement

>>68089788
true, merit has to be given to those deserving
minho in special has been growing/developing a lot recently
braga and guimarães (don't get mad at me) are the centre of our textile industry
paços de ferreira, lordelo and reborodsa have solid quality furniture, although the last two never quite recovered from the PREC times
and so on

>>68091054
Coimbra has been doing some cool shit too, with some proper fucking serious startups and not the tusa de mijo bullshit of Lisbon.

We're technically south Portugal, though, just above Morocco.

>>68091295
I don't know much about the centre's economy, besides the fact that they also have a positive comercial balance and glassmaking
I did visit parts of it many times, but one can't really understand things with just visiting places. That being said, I've been in coimbra, and I can assure it's more remarkable than most other cities, both in history and infrastructure

It is shit. I had to buy luggage built like a tank because i travel a lot and they were breaking the wheels.

Only good thing is that you can draw my state with them

It was better when the student tradition meant more than getting drunk, but at least the serenatas are still good.

It's a nice place to be. Moderately modern infrastructures close-by, historical streets close-by, you can drive around it in like 20 minutes, and you have everything you need here.

Not a lot of variety of choices for each thing, but there's nothing missing either.

>mfw I take 15 minutes to work
>mfw I look at it from this angle every single morning

Wouldn't trade it for the world, desu.

>>68075337
It's cancer. These shitstreets should have never been a thing

>>68075337
The CBD of Palma de mallorca was pretty crazy.

Fkn marble slabs on the side walks. I can only imagine how slippery it would be in rain.

>>68085748
why did you guys change the colors?

Jesus christ, this thread is giving me such a boner...
Ugh, I wanna cum all over these tiles!!!
