Lisbon souveniour





As mentioned in the previously, we did not like Paris. Fortunately we covered two other countries, which we deeply fell in love with. One of them is Lisbon, Portugal.
Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal. It is an amazing city with unique architecture and living culture. One of the memorable place I visited is Alfama, which is the oldest district of Lisbon. Alfama is Lisbon's most emblematic quarter and one of the most rewarding for walkers and photographers thanks to its medieval alleys and outstanding views. Most of the older residents have lived here all their lives and retain a strong sense of community, although their rent-controlled homes are now dilapidated, and an increasing number of wealthier people are investing in their properties and moving in. Other renovated buildings directly below the castle have been converted into some of the city's most atmospheric and unique hotels.
This painting of Alfama is done on a wall tile, which vividly illustrates the lifestyle and architecture of the district. Offered px at USD15
