Talavera tiles

Ever since I lived & worked in Portugal for two unforgettable summers, I've been an ardent fan of the tiled façades of buildings. I never thought I would see azulejos as wonderful as those of Lisboa or Porto. But Puebla's historic centro has many buildings covered in the region's Talavera tiles. The approach and designs are slightly different but no less effective and affecting. I loved all of them! The other members of the family pretty much just rolled their eyes because I just had to stop and take fotos right in the middle of the sidewalk. Here's a bunch of those fotos- without further ado!
