    The legendary colorful palace! It's definitely worth a visit to Lisbon. The beds inside the palace are quite small, showing that people in Southern Europe weren't very tall back then. You'll need to find the right angle to take good photos. There's a souvenir shop with the same items at Lisbon Airport!

    Berenta, a world heritage site, is a landmark of Lisbon, a witness to the history of Portuguese navigation. The former Berenta is where the great navigators set off. Berenta is next to the navigational monument, built to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry, the seafaring prince, like a ship with a huge sail.

    Cape Rocca, the westernmost point of Eurasia, facing the vast Atlantic Ocean, "the land stops here, the sea starts at Si". Good weather, the wind on the cliff is very big, very big, even walking a little staggering, the fear of heights is afraid. The steep cliff is 140 meters from the sea level, surrounded by rocky coastline, the scenery is extremely magnificent, the weather is good, the people are beautiful, it is a serious area for thieves, and you must take care of it.

    It feels a bit like a ghost castle. It rained on the day we went there, which really enhanced the atmosphere. However, the Nine-story Demon Tower was really average and uninteresting. The whole manor was still very photogenic, and we also caught the rainbow after the rain, a double rainbow, which was quite lucky!

    Alfama es uno de los barrios más antiguos y pintorescos de Lisboa, Portugal. Conocido por sus calles estrechas y serpenteantes, casas con azulejos coloridos y vistas impresionantes, Alfama es un viaje atrás en el tiempo a una Lisboa antigua y auténtica.Alfama es el hogar de la música de fado, una forma tradicional de música portuguesa que expresa nostalgia y melancolía, y puedes escucharla en numerosos bares y restaurantes del barrio. Muchos de estos establecimientos ofrecen espectáculos de fado en vivo en las noches. Aquí de dejo uno muy recomendado para que disfrutes del auténtico Fado.El barrio está construido en la ladera que se extiende desde el Castillo de San Jorge hasta el río Tajo, lo que ofrece vistas panorámicas de la ciudad y el río. Hay varios miradores (o «miradouros») desde los que puedes disfrutar de estas vistas, incluyendo el Miradouro de Santa Luzia y el Miradouro das Portas do Sol.Alfama es también el hogar de varias iglesias históricas, incluyendo la Catedral de Lisboa (Sé de Lisboa) y la Iglesia de San Vicente de Fora. Además, cada junio, el barrio se llena de vida para las festividades de los Santos Populares, donde las calles se llenan de decoraciones coloridas, música, baile y deliciosos alimentos y bebidas.

    The oldest Catholic church in Lisbon is located halfway up a hill in the old town of Alfama. Behind it is the site of a Roman theater, which is being excavated and repaired. It was well preserved even after the Lisbon earthquake! The stained glass in the church is beautiful!
