Una de las ciudades mas antiguas de la Europa occidental. Fue fundada por los fenicios con el nombre de Ulissipo, en honor al gran héroe griego Ulises u Odiseo… Despues llegaron griegos y cartaginenses y la conquistaron. Le siguieron los romanos e hicieron a Lisboa la capital de la Lusitania romana poniendole Olisipo… La ciudad moderna tiene una población de 547.773 almas, que equivale a un 26% de la población del país… Bueno os diré que me ha encantado Lisboa, aunque mi visita fue corta. Pero os digo que esta ciudad que hay que vivirla, sentir su energía, penetrar en su bullicio, codearse con su gentío, degustar su gastronomía y beber de sus vinos. Venga, que vale la pena una visita, y cuando lleguéis, preparaos para subir y bajar calles porque es una de las tres ciudades construida sobre siete colinas… La gente, guay y majas, elegantes y muy amantes del arte… Os doy las gracias a todos vosotros mis coleccionistas portugueses! Lisboa, otima!

Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in Western Europe. It was founded by the Phoenicians under the name of Ulissipo, in honor of the great Greek hero Ulysses or Odysseus… Then came the Greeks and Carthaginians who conquered it. The Romans followed, making Lisbon the capital of Roman Lusitania and naming it Olisipo… The modern city has a population of 547,773 souls, which accounts for 26% of the country’s population… Well, I’ll tell you that I loved Lisbon, although my visit was short. But I can say that this is a city that must be experienced, feeling its energy, immersing in its hustle, mingling with its crowds, savoring its cuisine, and sipping its wines. Come on, it’s worth a visit, and when you arrive, be prepared to go up and down streets because it is one of the three cities built on seven hills… The people, cool and nice, elegant, and very fond of art… I thank all of you, my Portuguese collectors! Lisbon, awesome!

Uma das cidades mais antigas da Europa ocidental. Foi fundada pelos fenícios com o nome de Ulissipo, em homenagem ao grande herói grego Ulisses ou Odisseu… Depois vieram gregos e cartagineses e a conquistaram. Seguiram-se os romanos, que fizeram de Lisboa a capital da Lusitânia romana, dando-lhe o nome de Olisipo… A cidade moderna tem uma população de 547.773 almas, o que equivale a 26% da população do país… Bom, posso dizer que amei Lisboa, embora minha visita tenha sido curta. Mas digo que esta cidade precisa ser vivida, sentir sua energia, mergulhar em seu bulício, misturar-se com sua gente, degustar sua gastronomia e beber seus vinhos. Venham, porque vale a pena uma visita, e quando chegarem, preparem-se para subir e descer ruas, pois é uma das três cidades construídas sobre sete colinas… O povo é legal e simpático, elegante e muito amante da arte… Agradeço a todos vocês, meus colecionadores portugueses! Lisboa, ótima!

  2. Beautiful, indeed, Francisco! Next time, you should extent your visit. The historical and natural beauties of my country are quite unique and inspiring! If you love nature, I invite you to visit the west coast, south of Lisbon, up to Sagres. In my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful and mystical places in the world! Thank you for sharing your lovely experience through portuguese lands. Light and blessings to you, my friend*

    With incredible weather, stunning architecture, a beautiful coastline, and easy access to other nearby towns, Lisbon has almost everything you could want from a city. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. You said it all Aiva, and I fully agree. I loved Lisboa, its streets, its upside neighbourhoods, its lower ones, its decadence, everything! Thank you so much and all the best.
