Jardin de Estrella lisbon

This is the garden across the street from the Basicilla.

We had lunch here at a vegan cafe. Cheese, Tomato toast, with a cabbage salad and mango dressing. Cheesecake for desert, it was crumbly, not overly sweet, very nice.

Laid out in the middle of the 19th cenruy the popular gardens are a focal part of the Estrela quarter. the formal gardens are lane with herbaceous borders, shrubs surrounding plan trees and elms. The central feature of the park is a green wrought iron bandstand decorated with elegant filigree where musicians strike up in the summer months. Built in 1884, and original stood on the Passeio Publico before the creation of Avenida da Liberdade.

there is an english cemetery to the north of the gardens which we didn't go to.Read more
