So this must be where the inspiration for the wonderful blue and yellow textiles come from that I see in exclusive stores. Amazing, the intricacies of this art!

OH my! Those maps made from tiles? Be still my heart. I love maps, I love tiles and I think it must be so thrilling to come upon these delightful finds while strolling thru that magical city. Thank you for sharing Tara. I've never much wanted to visit Spain, but now it's a list-topping destination!

The blue and yellow together is beautiful. As always, you make me wish I was there. How are the Spanish lessons going?
