Return to My Lisbon Life

Conveniently, one of the popular places the friends I’ve made like to go is a tiny restaurant a few minute’s walk from my apartment. The place is so small, there is only room for about 10 people so tables spill onto the narrow sidewalk outside. This works fine until taxis start coming down the restricted street to collect the crowds leaving the fado shows. Then the people sitting closest to or in the street, must jump up and move their chairs so taxis can pass. I love everything about this place. It’s one of my favorite spots in not just the Alfama, but all of Lisbon. I’ve met many people at this local gem. When I first started coming to the place, the brothers who run it made an effort to introduce me to locals. I met all kinds of people from the talented neighborhood fado singers to fellow immigrants that live in the surrounding neighborhoods. <a href="https://tistravels.medium.com/return-to-my-lisbon-life-1e1d8d02a029">Website</a>
