Convento do Carmo



El Convento de la Orden del Carmen de Lisboa se encuentra en una posición privilegiada, al lado del Rossio y con inmejorables vistas al Castillo de San Jorge. La iglesia del convento, que era la mayor iglesia gótica de la ciudad, quedó en ruinas debido al Terremoto de 1755 y es uno de los principales recuerdos del desastre que asoló la capital portuguesa. Actualmente, en las ruinas se encuentra el Museu Arqueológico do Carmo (Museo arqueológico del Carmen).

pavilhao chines


Located on the north side of the Bairro Alto, Lisbon's Soho-like grid of streets packed with bars, shops, eating-houses and tragic women wailing fado songs, the Pavilhao Chines is a wonder to behold. It's not especially Chinese: touches of Viennese café, Habsburg museum, Paris brothel and New Orleans poolhall jostle together in this 19th-century former "fine grocery" store. Designed by Luis Pinto Coelho, it's a cabinet of curiosities: toy soldiers, trains, china dancers and brass tigers, a score of teapots dangling from the ceiling. The front room is full of cocktail drinkers, the middle bar lolling whisky-sippers, a third full of students watching television, while the back room features a billiard table where young blonde women show off their ball-breaking skills. The place is open until 2am, so it's perfect for that end-of-the-evening bourbon-fuelled rumination on life. Drinks are expensive, and indulging your taste for Famous Grouse would make a shocking hole in your wallet. Better to try some home-grown reds, especially Dao and Douro. Since you're in Portugal, you'd be nuts not to try a late-night port. You're looking for two words on the label: colheita (wood-aged for at least seven years) or garrafeira (aged in glass demi-johns for decades). Take a slug, watch the red-waistcoated waiters swish around self-importantly, listen to the jukebox playing Blur, U2 and Supergrass, and you'll find no good reason why you should ever leave this magic junk shop.

Lusitania Express

,


Esta Semana voy a Lisboa, al final he decidido ir en tren desde Madrid, en el "Lusitania Express".
En mis horas libres esperando el regreso cogeré el tranvía 28 y disfrutaré de una de las ciudades más increibles de Europa.

El tren-hotel ‘Lusitania’ sale diariamente de la estación madrileña de Chamartín a las 22.45 horas y llega a la estación lisboeta de Santa Apolonia a las 8.04, donde se inicia el trayecto de vuelta a las 22.01
