It was nice to stay in this small, and a very authentic flat and to be able to get more familiar with the life of the inhabitants of Alfama. This is a tiny place with a fantastic view at the river and the roofs of the houses in the neighbourhood. It was absolutely great to open window and sip wine, offered by our host Paula, watching the boats come in (like in one of the David Sylvian's songs). The house is located by a very quiet, small street, yet surrounded by many restaurants. Following some Paula's recommendation we went out to listen to Fado music in the Boteco da Fa restaurant. It was fantastic !!! A singer, Sandra Correia, won our hearts. Our host Paula was very nice and helpful and she let us to check in before noon. She arranged the plane tickets and the taxi for us and she remembered about my requests. Thank you Paula. We fell in love with the city and its inhabitants.
