Lisbon streets.... outra vez

It all starts from a ferry that docks almost in the heart of the touristic part of the city. The ride takes about 20 minutes and I can imagine it is a waste of time for people that have to go back and forth every day, but I damn enjoy it :)





Then a short walk along the river shore and you end up in probably the most photographed spot in Lisbon. The big Praça do comércio which normally is full of tourists and people trying to sell you something or make you sign up for something.

One of the things I did enjoy about all the Covid restrictions - less people everywhere. I could actually enjoy the walk instead of trying to constantly pass groups of people.





You pass the big arches and you enter the city...

After that it is just hours and hours of walking along the streets. You get the big avenues with trees that fit perfectly the big and busy city. But just around the corner dozens of little ones with old scruffy houses and older people hanging their clothes outside. Just a few steps and it seems like you are in another town.

Only turn again and be among the fancy cars and expensive shops again.

That puddle in the middle is a pavement :p
I don't think any drainage was even installed there and the leveling didn't go the way it should either :)
Cool reflections though!

Far behind you get to see Ponte 25 de Abril and the Jesus statue in the corner.

And back home...
Time to take the face covers off :D

Monochrome song for today:
Da Weasel - Ressaca
year 1995

I think it is only appropriate to put something Portuguese.

1, 2, 3 é a ressaca outra vez
