Lisbon

Description: The city of the seven hills, where we “little lettuces”, as we call our selves, like to wonder around, up and down.From this land, mostly from Belém, great explorers left in huge sailing boats just a few hundred years ago. Since then, things have changed. Lisbon has no longer the power it once had, that’s no news… But this has left a legacy that has been kept well alive. Long wide Avenues are today full of nice cafés, shops and street artists that keep the streets busy while the small bairros add to it a very particular feeling. Old buildings, churches, cathedrals and a Castle are just a few of its offerings. The city where Fado still says much of its inhabitants, Lisbon is now struggling to get into the vanguard of high fashion, design and trendy offerings, maintaining most of the good old traditions. You can still find an excellent Marisqueira in Bairro Alto, a popular night hang out, or choose for a top chef design restaurant in Santos, the new design district. At Sintra you can discover a whole new world, walking the village narrow streets that resemble a little bit to Alfama, or visiting its Castle, Palaces and beautiful gardens.Lisbon is blessed with a unique light. After all, Cristo Rei has been embracing this city form the other side of Tagus river for quite a while...
