AQUELLOS RINCONES PORTUGUESES...

Si hay algo que me encanta sobre Lisboa...es como vive la historia atraves del presente. Como se mezcla en un escenario contemporáneo con la imagen ancestral de antiguas generaciones. No me refiero a los monumentos, castillos y catedrales de la época de los reyes (que sin discusión son increibles), me refiero a aquellos pequeños rincones en los que aún habita el pasado. A medida de que caminas en Lisboa te vas encontrando con ventanas de tiempo que te dejan imaginar como era aquella época, una barbería antígua solo para caballeros, una carniceria atendida por el propio personaje vintage, miscelaneas en las cuáles todavia se venden desde los porductos antiguos de cuidado personal, aseo para el hogar, juguetes, muñecas hasta artesania. Particularmente me siento muy atraída a este tipo de rincones especiales por la riqueza visual que ellos desencadenan, no se trata solo de una vitrina al pasado, se trata de una sinfonía de estilos, colores, misturas....oh my god que feliz me hace esto, que bien se siente comenzar a sacar similaridades a partir de estos espacios, es como leer una cultura por medio de su visual; si bien no toda la identidad protuguesa se resuma a esto, es un buen ejemplo para comenzar a saber mas sobre ella. Esto fué lo que encontré en una tarde de paseo en el centro lisboeta.. estoy segura que debe haber muchoas mas sitios icónicos de los que hablo, pero para mi estos son ejemplares para mostrar:

A NORMAL AFTERNOON IN BAIRRO ALTO / CHIADO, Lisboa
A winter sexy afternoon in this magical place, located in the hearth of Lisbon: one of the most beautiful cities in the world in my opinion, not because i live here, its all about the beatiful contrast of this city that has river and ocean around. Walking Chiado and Bairro Alto its like dating this city....we have the history around, we have all kind of people on a normal day, the touristic places (where i try not to go much), and we can feel the presence of the past. The historical "calçada portuguesa" wich at the begining was beautiful for me but after became a pain in the ****s (well!! sorry but before practice was impossible to walk in high hills, now im an expert), the shoes just are not ready for such a heavy street, but this "feature" is all over the city being part of the urban escene. This cloudy afternoon i decide to have a coffee and this is what i found...
