Even though that our trip to Lisbon was so short, we enjoyed our stay to its fullest, and the best part about traveling with nice weather is that you can spend so much time outdoor. You can skip trains, taxis, subway… and just enjoy the long walks :) That day, we went to Castelo de São Jorge, where you can get a wonderful view above the city —I highly recommend to take a taxi or a tuk-tuk instead of going by walk—, we had lunch in a little restaurant Petisqueira Conquistador (you have to try it!), we went down by walk to Alfama district (my favorite part of the city), we stopped by Igreja da Madalena and we ended «the tour» at Praça do Comércio. 

The views from the castle are amazing, you have the chance to see the whole city from above, and about Alfama… Just image so many tiny streets going down with all the buildings colored with tiles, trams going down and up, little terraces to enjoy the good weather, shops that still have the retro aesthetic and essence of the past years… Undoubtedly, Lisboa is one of those destinations that you don’t think that it’s so charming, but as soon as you are there, you are very surprised on each step. We never thought about Lisbon as a top destination nor even a city on our bucket list but it’s so worth. It’s so close to Spain, it’s like a hidden treasure!

And as I said before, I love this trend and I can assure you that I’m going to mix&match tops and blouse with dresses and lace tops like no one, or at least until I get bored :) Even though that it’s an uncommon trend, it’s not so strange or bizarre like others, so you may not like it, but definitely you didn’t hate it neither!

Aunque estuvimos poquito tiempo en Lisboa, lo aprovechamos al máximo, y lo mejor de viajar con buen tiempo, es que te apetece estar todo el día en la calle y puedes ir a todos los rincones andando. Este día subimos andando hasta el Castillo de San Jorge (Castelo de São Jorge) —aunque mejor que subáis en taxi o tuk-tuk—, comimos en un pequeño restaurante a los pies del castillo (Petisqueira Conquistador – muy recomendable), bajamos recorriendo a pie el barrio de Alfama (mi zona favorita!) pasando por delante de la Iglesia de Magdalena (Igreja da Madalena) hasta llegar a la plaza del comercio (Praça do Comércio).

Las vistas desde el Castillo son impresionantes, consigues una panorámica de toda la ciudad y de hasta el último rincón, y el encanto de Alfama es… Imaginaros todas las calles en cuestas, fachadas pintadas con mil azulejos, tranvías subiendo y bajando, pequeñas terracitas en las aceras, tiendas que aún mantienen la estética retro y la esencia de años pasados… Lisboa es una de esas ciudades que te sorprenden. Nunca habíamos pensado en ella como un destino favorito o importante en la lista, iríamos cuando surgiese ir y mientras tanto nada y… De verdad os digo que no sabéis que tesoro tenemos al lado de casa y nos estamos perdiendo!

Y ya lo avisé. Esta tendencia de superponer me encanta así que me la vais a ver continuamente hasta que ya no me queden ideas o me haya aburrido :) Creo que aunque es una tendencia un poco arriesgada, no es tan exagerada y no es de esas modas que odias o amas…
