View of Lisbon from Miradouro de São Pedro Alcantara in Bairro Alto. Best place to watch a sunset. We rode the Elevador da Glória to get to this place. On the far right of this picture you can see the Castelo de São Jorge. Details: Nikon D70s with Tamron 28-75 f2.8. The camera was mounted on tripod, set at ISO200, f13, 1/90s with a focal length of 35 mm. This pic turned into a beatiful 10x17 memento.

The streets in the Alfama district are narrow and possess a lot of character. The street plan in this area is one of the few aspects of Lisbon to have survived the 1755 earthquake. We couldn't help but notice the abundance of Potuguese flags hanging from the balconies.
