Time on the Hill – A Walk through the Alleys of Alfama

#July Travel Support Fund One of the seven hills of Lisbon, Standing tall on top is the Castelo de São Jorge. But the road to the castle hides the real face of an older Lisbon. That is, Alfama. A cat is napping under the window where laundry is fluttering and the fado flows beyond the window. Alfama is a neighborhood that was once ruled by Arabs, and traces of the Middle Ages remain intact. In this place where locals still live, Rather than the artificial sophistication of tourist destinations, the real rhythm of life flows. #PortugalEmotionalTravel #Portugal
