You would think we would be a little smarter, given a 170 mile hike just ahead. But, we began our day under beautiful blue skies and a perfect temperature and immediately began what became a 4 mile “walk” climbing several hundred feet. High atop a ridge overlooking Lisbon we stopped at three significant sites: (1) Igreja de Cristina (2) Lisbon Cathedral, built in 1190 AD and (3) Castelo S Jorge, a twelve century fortress overlooking the Tagus River and the entire Lisbon skyline. The Lisbon Cathedral is also the starting point for the longest route of the Camino Portuguese , and would be over 300 miles …maybe another time!
Walked back to our favorite lunch place (Figu’s) and once again enjoyed the cuisine …, and sangria.
Spent the afternoon exploring different areas of the city and making final arrangements for our travel to Porto tomorrow.
