Each clay scene is an illustrated interpretation shaped from official visual references. Flori and Luna guide the way while the real landmark remains the star.
Their travel outfits are playfully inspired by regional Portuguese clothing. Portugal has many local traditions, so these are illustrations rather than one national costume. Clothing reference: Museus e Monumentos de Portugal: Museu Nacional do Traje (opens in a new tab).

How this series is made
Flori and Luna's adventure is invented. The geography, landmarks, dates, and historical descriptions are checked against UNESCO, government, municipal, museum, or university sources before publication. The clay scenes are friendly illustrated interpretations, not documentary reconstructions.
