St Antonio Festa In Lisboa !

After a week of sunning and eating at the relaxing pace of The Algarves (basically a few paces from any beaches and restaurants), it was a shock to get back to the real business of lugging a backpack and looking for Pensao in this buzzling Portuguese capital ! The Avenida were majestically (read tiringly) long and wide and we didn't exactly expect to bump into the famous annual St Antonio Festa In Lisboa ! Basically, parades and parties in Lisboa all night through tonight - that meant all hotels booked solid for this weekend ! Somehow (don't ask me how), we managed to find a quiet Residencial near the glorious Marques de Pombal area. We could not wait to get out to feel the party ambiance where the main Avenida da Liberdade was lined up with Lisboa locals and visitors alike, anticipating the fun and joy of this Festa !
