Walking through Alfama - the old part of Lisbon

São Vicente de Fora Monastery in the distance...

We took a walk through the medieval section of Lisbon called Alfama.  This is a view from a lookout point where we stopped to get some sangria from a kiosk.

Because it was built over solid bedrock, it has remained the same for centuries, even surviving the 1755 earthquake which destroyed other surrounding areas.  Alfama is known for its narrow maze-like streets so we had a great time wandering around and getting lost in its charm.

Graffiti is everywhere in Lisbon...
