Lunch and Beyond

Walking down the hill from the castle, we came across a lovely terrace and a restaurant called Audrey’s to have lunch, and what a delicious lunch it turned out to be. Ian had a shashlik, that was huge, and it paired up appropriately with the huge vessel of beer he was served (he had ordered the smaller size, but the waiter made a mistake so Ian just had to drink it!). I had the Portuguese platter of cheese and meats, which was delicious. It was lovely to sit and relax and people watch, and just take the afternoon slowly.

Once we finished lunch we continued to head down the hill through the Alfama District. Lisbon is very steep with lots of hills, in fact there are seven hills. We continued to wander, and stopped at Miradoruro Santa Luzia to admire the views over Lisbon, the wonderful tile work and the beautiful flowers. We also encountered lots of street art and tiling as we meandered down the hill.Læs mere
