We went directly from Madrid to Lisbon. I had a conference there and the family toured for a few days before I began, then left early to enjoy a few days in London before I was done. Here, you will see that Lisbon is a city of tile, churches, and clay roofs! We really did an awful lot there in a short time, but it is a much poorer place overall than Madrid and we were sorry to see so much grafitti and disrepair in the buildings. The people were very friendly -- but just watch out in restaurants. The 'appetizers' they bring out in bounty are not included. As one waiter said quickly 'you eat, you pay, you no eat, you no pay.' Since a small plate of jamon can cost 9 Euros, we learned to have them remove it immediately!
