Lisbon

We continued south through Portugal, landing at the capital, Lisbon. With hilly cobbled streets radiating a rustic, sometimes grimy charm, and a multicultural atmosphere, this was one of our favourite European cities so far in our travels.

There are some steep streets but the views to the ocean are magnificent
