Travel Guide
Discover Lisbon if you are Gifted or not…
This is quite a unique view of the city. The usual sites are there but there’s a Gifted view of the city, places and events that these gifted people gather or have some kind of link with. The level of description is very well done, with details of the weather, the rain and onset of storms and even how it feels to sit outside of a café just watching the world go by.
“Lisbon is built on hills, more than the seven hills of myth, and the sloping streets have always been a part of it.”
“Lisbon’s weather had turned vicious as winter began to settle”
“Gare do Oriente terminal is always busy, the mount of traffic it sees every day equal to that of New York’s Central Station. Its white arches made to resemble trees, gleam in the sunlight.”
