The Blue Route passes through the convent of São Paulo where the ancient monks ’cells, their corridors and fountains are an authentic living museum in the Serra d’ Ossa, in the department of Évora (Alto Alentejo).

It then takes us to Lisbon, capital of the Portuguese azulejo, whose National Museum traces the history of this ceramic tile, since its origins borrowed from Arab cultures : -Mudejar imported from Sevilla and Granada-, Italian, Dutch …

The blue azulejo is illustrated in palaces and churches, like the church of Madre de Deus. It covers the streets, the railway stations and the metro stations, such as the Olaias station.

This path goes through the studio of visual artist Joana Vasconcelos who represented Portugal at the 2013 Venice Biennale, with a "cacilheiro", an iconic element of Lisbon, whose shell covered with azulejos blue reinterprets the panels containing the panoramic view of the capital, seen from the sea, before the earthquake in 1755, the flagship work of the National Museum of Azulejo.
