The path
Inspired in the portuguese pavement called "Calçada Portuguesa". The portuguese pavement is a great historical heritage and covers many of the streets and squares of Portugal and Portuguese-Speaking Countries. The portuguese pavement is the result of the irregularly shaped stones, usually in black and white limestone, which can be used to form decorative patterns or mosaics by contrasting the stones of different colors. It is today a distinctive element of the portuguese identity.
