After 22 hours of travel, including a 3 hour stop in Madrid, we have finally reached Lisbon, Portugal. We will spend two nights here before taking a train to Porto, where we start our 170 mile hike.
Just had our first taste of Portuguese cuisine for lunch. Everyone loved their dish ….. good start. More importantly, the two pitchers of sangria helped us get ready to explore the historic Baixa district of Lisbon.
Following a 300 step climb to the Sao Palo Church and Museum to end our city tour, we treated ourselves to a fabulous dinner at the Viranda Restaurant and rooftop bar as the sunset over Lisbon.
