Lisbon: Exploring Alfama
I'm going to start with the hilly neighbourhood of Alfama for my first Lisbon post. That's not because it's the most touristy area, it really isn't - Alfama is where the locals live. It's also one of the oldest parts of Lisbon, filled with narrow cobbled streets that you can get lost in, and the only part of Lisbon to (mostly) survive the great 1755 earthquake.
