Description
The picturesque Bairro Alto district of Lisbon, dating back to the 16th Century is a cultural maze I enjoy getting lost in. Each turn of a corner brings something new and wonderful to the eyes of the hungry traveller seeking inspiration. For me this area is the beating heart of Lisbon, it's hilly, winding streets and alleys the very lifeblood of the city. A vibrant labyrinth filled with captivating sounds as the strains of the popular 'Fado' music emanates from small intimate bars and alluring smells as the cooking of divine locally produced food entices you into the little restaurants which can be found all over. It's an enchanting place at any time of the year but is particularly lively during the Fiesta in June when I took this photo. There are decorative coloured flags and banners strewn everywhere and locals and tourists alike are invited to participate in the traditional fun every evening until the wee small hours.
