This atmospheric picture shows an idyllic street scene from Alfama, Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood. In the foreground, the characteristic cobblestones with curved tram tracks catch the eye. The street runs gently downhill and leads the viewer into a charming old town alley that exudes the typical, slightly morbid charm of Alfama. The sand and yellow-coloured facades of the historic buildings lend the scene a warm, Mediterranean atmosphere.
The picture captures the tranquil moment of an almost deserted street. In the distance, a young woman can be seen walking uphill into the picture, lending the scene a poetic dynamism. This composition is ideal for lovers of Lisbon, Mediterranean cityscapes and nostalgic travel motifs. Perfect as a poster, canvas print or decorative wall mural to bring the flair of the Portuguese capital into your own four walls. A must for travellers and Portugal enthusiasts!
