Porto (Portuguese Tiles) Midi Dot-Grid Hardback Journal (Elastic Band Closure)

The term azulejos (meaning "small polished stone") refers to painted, glazed ceramic tiles dating back to 13th-century Portugal, used primarily during the Gothic period for interior decoration. These tiles adorn a wide range of buildings today, including monasteries, palaces, restaurants, bars, railway stations, and family homes.

The designs on these azulejos often relate to the unique history of the buildings they beautify. Individual tiles can collectively form an elaborate mosaic that tells a story or reflects cultural significance. The design featured in the Porto (Portuguese Tiles) Midi Dot-Grid Hardback Journal (Elastic Band Closure) is inspired by traditional tiles that embellish the façades of various old houses in Porto, Portugal.

With ornate detailing, these tiles serve not only as decorative elements but also as representations of an important aspect of Portuguese culture and tradition.
