A morning walk downtown - my camera unknowingly set to black and white! Walking downhill from Alfama ...
We passed an lady with crutches sitting on the steps of the Sé da Lisboa cathedral
Continuing down the wide pedestrianised Rua Augusta towards the river
we passed through the Arco da Augusta leading to Praça do Comércio
finding shade in the colonnades on Praça do Comércio
A photogenic swimmer was standing between the stone columns in the river pier, Cais das Colunas
while a seagull rested on one of the old inscribed columns.
Returning back up towards the Baixa we found the Rossio square in full bloom
and stopped for a coffee at the Art deco Café Nicola
Shoe-shine man, Café Nicola
From Rossio we walked uphill again past the Grandes Armazéns do Chiado on the Rua do Carmo
popping into a bookstore with tiled façade
The 28 Tram was on its way up to Alfama
Lisbon, Portugal
Day 13, Iberian road trip, June 2017
