Azulejos are Portuguese hand-painted, tin-glazed tiles made up of ceramic material. The tile is typically a square plaque (5-6 inches), one side of which is adorned and varnished. Azulejos were essentially introduced as ornamentation over flat plastered surfaces such as floors, walls, and ceilings.
Fado (fate) is a music genre that can be traced to the 1820s in Lisbon. Fado is commonly regarded as a form of song which can be about anything, but must follow a certain traditional structure. Fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with a sentiment of resignation, fate and melancholy.
