Jardin de cerca da graca

after the view point we wandered down to this largish green space, the Jardine de circa de grace. the garden around the grace (church).

Not as manicured as our parks, but lots of people.

a huge lantana plant spilling over the wall, like 10 feet of it at least.

The red plant is a coral tree (erythrina crista -galli, native to Brazil, which of course was a portugeuse colony)

lovely pergola and these kiosks are in all the parks and squares where you can get a snack and coffee (espresso) for very reasonable amounts. they are the starbucks of portugal.....no starbucks here that we have seen :)

The graffiti walk is going back up to the church, and that is a pic of the same church of graceLeer más
