Alfama

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.

Spending a few days in Lisbon was an incredible treat for the senses. The city is beautifully colorful, with painted streets, murals, artwork, and the iconic Portuguese tiles. Strolling leisurely down the streets, I found several street musicians playing Fado music. And of course, the food is amazing and affordable. Lisbon has some of the nicest and most social hostels I found in Europe, and I joined a free walking tour through the hostel to see the major sites and learn the local history. One of my absolute favorite cities in Europe!

The old city is full of humanistic characteristics, everywhere is the scenery, standing in the old city is the scenery, walking into the old city, each restaurant has its own characteristics, pastries are exquisite and exquisite bread desserts, and other commodity stores are also interesting. The most attractive is the old-fashioned cable car that shuttles the old town, not only pulling wind, but also very interesting and exciting, and street restaurants, shops are interspersed, and feel that you can reach the wall! It is recommended to take the 28th road, which runs through the old city, but pay attention to that ticket can only be purchased one way, and you should buy a new ticket after getting off the bus, so it is best to take the bus to the terminal, two different terminals. If you are coming by subway, you can choose the subway station Martim Moniz, and the exit is the departure station of the 28th road. 3 euros a person. It is very interesting to ride during the day and at night.

It is the oldest part of the city, I really like it. Full of Lisbon character and a neighboorhod to protect.

The road is too narrow and the bus turns extremely dangerous. The stone road, uphill and downhill, walking and driving are difficult.
