An icon of #lisbon, where the journey is the destination.

“Window 15” — A window in a stone wall in the Alfama, Lisbon.

This is another photograph from our stroll through Lisbon’s Alfama district — the oldest part of the city, and a place of narrow, twisting walkways and steep hills. It is also an area with a history of poverty. Here a window is open to reveal plants growing in pots…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/08/14/window-15/

Alfama Steps” — Cobblestone steps wind between buildings in the Alfama, Lisbon.

We wandered quite a bit during our May visit to Lisbon this year. (This was part of a 6-week trip that took us to Portugal, Spain, Belgium, and New York City.) When I write “wandered,” I mean this quite literally — we frequently head out with only the vaguest idea of what we’ll explore. In this case, we knew we were headed to the Alfama district, but beyond that we would wing it…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/07/20/alfama-steps/

A Lisbon Street” — A narrow, curving street in Alfama, lined with colorful buildings.

From my limited experience, this feels like a “typical” street of Lisbon’s Alfama district… except that the street is wider than many of the passageways. The lines suggest that it is two lanes wide — though I imagine that when a trolley goes up and down those tracks there isn’t a lot of room for anyone else!…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/07/16/a-lisbon-street/

“Alfama Street Art” — Detail of street art on a wall in the Alfama district of Lisbon.

This detail of a bit of Portuguese street art comes from the Alfama district of Lisbon. This is the oldest neighborhood of the city, with tightly spaced buildings and streets so narrow and twisting that vehicles cannot pass. It was (and reputedly still is) a neighborhood where the poor are more likely to live — though one can see a creeping urbanization occurring around the edges…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/07/12/alfama-street-art/

I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about #DoorsDay - my favorite day! 😅

Today, I'm sharing a pretty portal spotted on a recent walk here at home in #Lisbon #Portugal. This door is on a very steep street on the border between #Alfama and #Graça but it was sooo worth the climb to photograph this beauty.

#Lissabon. Was ein Gegensatz zum äußerst beschaulich-ruhigen Santa Maria! Deswegen habe ich mich in der #Alfama in eine ruhigere Ecke zurückgezogen - trubelig genug ist es hier dennoch.

#Acores25 wird jetzt zu #Lisboa25.
