Spanish term or phrase: a la portuguesa
Any ideas what this is please? I can't find anything about deck laying "Portuguese style"!

"Desmontaje de tarima de madera colocada a la portuguesa, i/ transporte de material a taller para su reparación, p.p. de reposición de rastreles de Pino deteriorados, medida la superficie ejecutada"

Many thanks.

Explanation:
I agree with your suggestion. It's what I thought of before I saw your explanation. I don't think you have to know exactly what it means because the reader in Spanish may not know either.

Explanation:
I don't think "Portuguese style" is wrong at all. But I'm guessing that it's more a reference to the type of joinery than the decking work specifically.
