Holiday in Lisbon

If the city of Lisbon was largely destroyed during the earthquake of 1755, this town with the charms of  medina, remains intact by the presence of its foundations solidly effective.Its magnificent cobblestones were consecutively trampled by the Romans, the Moors and the Crusaders who invaded the city in 1147. Now it's your turn to survey them ... Put your map  or guide to one side in order to stroll randomly in the streets, beautiful footprints of splendor, where conversations are ringing out.The center of the city  is furrowed with lovely "travessas" (alleys) carved on the side of the hill and becos (cul-de-sacs) bypassed decorated with small residences with contrasts lemony and rosé. Opting for a holiday rental in the center would be an excellent opportunity for you to discover the maze of alleys that make the great fame of Lisbon.By walking through the colorful Lisbon alleys with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, you will find that the inhabitants lead a very quiet life ... Clothes drying, women who tell the latest gossip, the adorable chapels illuminated by the sun ... Such a spectacle  will certainly bring happiness to those who are in search of a change of scene!When you are in Lisbon and prefer holiday rentals as a means of accommodation, do not miss an opportunity to visit the Igreja de São Vicente da Fora adorned with its cloister dressed with azulejos, a sacred emblem of the city.If you are the type of person who wants to get caught by surprise  every time, do not hesitate to discover the unusual facade of the Casa dos Bicos, minutely carved diamond point and built in the sixteenth century for the nobility of Afonso Albuquerque.If you choose a holiday rental near the Romanesque Sé Cathedral, you will have the opportunity to contemplate this place as many times as you want. It is a beautiful building built with honey-colored bricks with elegant, typically Lisbon style. Do you get peckish ? Appreciate a nice lunch based on sardines at Porta d'Alfama, a must-go corner to taste the local cuisine of Lisbon. Being spellbinding during the day, the city reveals its soul in the evening when the songs of the "fado" rustle in this beautiful neighborhood where it was born. Lisbon is indeed a district of artists who do not hesitate to launch melancholic melodies, beautiful nostalgic expressions to talk about bullfighting, jealous lovers and husbands lost at sea ...
