This is what I
think about Lisbon when I contemplate the monuments, the public gardens, the
Atlantic sea, the climate, the flowers, the gastronomy, the crafts, the
boutiques, the people... I never tire of coming back!
I returned to
Geneva just over a week ago and I already miss this wonderful country.
I stayed in Lisbon
and my days were spent peacefully with a few expeditions: visits to
exhibitions, markets and fairs, all filled with much joy. The goal of these
holidays was essentially to rest.
I’m going to share
a summary of my two week stay with you. I captured these moments with my Sony
compact camera. It is incredible how this 15 year old camera still takes good
photos.

Casa de Linhares, Fado Restaurant (2, Beco Armazens do Linho, Alfama) Fantastic
meal and Fado music.

Fábrica
das Enguias (66, Rua da Prata, Baixa) The decoration of this store
caught my attention and, when I got inside, all the beautiful tins of this
delicacy (canned eels) won my heart.

Sapateiros, Rossio) What else do we need... good
weather, good live music and good cocktails.
Praça Parquês de Pombal
Book Fair
/ Feira do Livro de Lisboa (Parque Eduardo VII, Marquês De Pombal) This book fair takes place
