Em Tomar, Portugal
"Azulejo (Spanish: [aθuˈlexo], Portuguese: [ɐzuˈleʒu, ɐzuˈlɐjʒu]; from the Arabic al-zillīj, الزليج)[1][2] is a form of Portuguese and Spanish painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework. Azulejos are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway stations. They are an ornamental art form, but also had a specific functional capacity like temperature control in homes.
There is also a tradition of their production in former Spanish and Portuguese colonies in North America, South America, the Philippines, Goa (India), Lusophone Africa, East Timor, and Macau (China). Azulejos constitute a major aspect of Portuguese architecture to this day and are fixtures of buildings across Portugal and its former territories. Many azulejos chronicle major historical and cultural aspects of Portuguese history."

From Wikipedia Azulejo:
The word azulejo is derived from the Arabic: zellige, meaning "polished stone". This origin shows the unmistakable Arab influences in many tiles: interlocking curvilinear, geometric or floral motifs. In the second half of the 17th century, the Spanish artist Gabriel del Barco y Minusca introduced into Portugal the blue-and-white tiles from Delft in the Netherlands.

La industria azulejera castellonense hace unos años se surtía de la arcilla necesaria usando el ferrocarril como medio de transporte. Así, de forma diaria, bajaba un tren cargado y subía otro de vacío en un tráfico entre Teruel (posterirormente Puerto Escandón) y Nules, aunque luego se subía más allá de Castellón para invertir. ¿Tracción? Todas las subseries de 319 (en sencillo y doble) y las 333 (también en sencillo y doble), variando según "temporada". En la foto la 319-309 (hoy en Fte. S. Luis cómo máquina-herramienta) en doble con la -253 aguardan el cruce con el inverso en la estación de Estivella. Huelga decir que ya hace años que este tráfico se perdió por una pequeña diferencia en el precio, y los que fotografiamos por aquí esperamos que algún privado se haga con la carga; oye, negocio seguro ya que sería dos trenes diarios de lunes a viernes. ¡Venga, a animarse!
