Lisbon
(native Lisboa) in a nutshell With
springtime temperatures during the winter and cool summers due to a breeze blowing
in from the Atlantic, Costa de Lisboa, on the southwestern coast, offers a rich
and impressively integrated diversity. Liboa the capital since its conquest from
the Moors in 1147, has more than 20 centuries of history.
The Alfama is one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa. It largely survived the earthquake
of 1755 thus retains much of its original layout, fanked by the quarters of Castelo
and Mouraria of a similar age. All this is overlookedon by St. George's Castle
on top of the hill.
Every year in June, the streets of all three quarters come alive with the feasts
in honour of the popular saints. Take
your time and get "lost" in the medivial streets under the radiant skies
whilst listening to the fado being played and sung at night. Here
is the link to the Tourist Info on-line To
get arround we recommend the 1 or 5 day network card - presently a bargain. For
