Weekly Photo Challenge: Celebration

Although I missed the party this year, the decorations were still adding colour to the streets of Alfama in Lisbon when I visited in August.

Despite the crumbling buildings, the residents of this ancient neighbourhood still know how to celebrate in style and have managed to pretty up their streets in honour of Saint Anthony.

Next June, I want to be there in person to join in the fun.

About Julie Dawn Fox

I'm a serial expat, originally from the UK and after several years in far-away countries, I moved to Portugal in 2007. I'm very happy living here so I have no plans to move. I love exploring Portugal and am enjoying getting to know this country better through blogging about where I've been and what I've seen.
