Dearest Gentle Reader,
With the summer upon us and the ton all packed and set to vacation in some exotic locale, this author decided to explore the historical city of Lisbon. Nestled along the winding banks of the Tagus—the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula—Portugal’s capital will enchant you with its timeless allure. From the vibrant colours of the old neighbourhood of Alfama to the bohemian spirit of Lisbon’s central district of Bairro Alto, the city is a mosaic of culture and tradition. But don’t be fooled by its charming cobblestone streets meandering through historic neighbourhoods, they are a killer on the legs! Lisbon is built on seven hills and you feel it in every step. So dearest reader, say goodbye to those stilettos and welcome a pair of sturdy boots or the oh-so-fashionable sneakers when exploring Europe’s second oldest capital city after Athens—yes, Lisbon is even older than Rome!
Little wonder, every corner has a story—some even scandalous—waiting to be uncovered. Something that this author was delighted to do. Take for instance, São Jorge Castle, a military fortress towering above the city and offering panoramic views of redtiled rooftops and the sparkling river below. It served as a protector, first of Islam and then of Christianity. But it’s not all that it seems to be. The current castle is a replica built only about 80 years ago. “It’s a tourist trap, built by dictator [António de Oliveira] Salazar to earn revenue. It’s what he thought a Moorish castle should look like when built on a low budget,” laughs a local resident whom this author befriended over a glass of port wine.
