Great reading: Lisbon

[Roger Warwick]

We have talked a little about Portugal before on this list, and we have in fact said that we're open to posts about both Spain and it's companion to the west, so here's some great Winter reading for you.

This is a series of absolutely marvellous blog posts on the Daily Norm, website of UK artist Nicholas de Lacy-Brown.

The writing is incredibly descriptive and the photos even more so. An absolute must-read, and particularly interesting to me now since I've been living in Portugal since April 2010 (though I still maintain my house in Madrid). Read on, although I just know many of you will skip right to the Food post! :-) ...
