Lisbon after dark: a street artist's messy log

i just landed in lisbon and already feel the city humming like a bass line i checked the sky and it's...the air smells like fried plantains and sea breeze, hope you dig that kind of thing. the neighbors next door are blasting reggae from an open window and i can't help but grin because if you get restless, nearby towns are a quick hop away. someone told me that the old tram line is the best place to catch sunrise and i heard that the street art scene here is a living gallery you just have to wander into. i swung by the mercado da roda and the stalls are a riot of colors i snapped a few shots that you can see below.

i hear the best pastel de nata is at manteigaria and tripadvisor says the alfama district is a maze of stories but honestly i just follow the scent of coffee and the graffiti tags that pop up like surprise verses. yelp reviews warn about the crowded nights but also rave about the hidden rooftop bars. i just checked and it's...the clouds are doing a jazz solo, hope you like that kind of thing. the vibe here feels like a mixtape that never stops spinning and if you get bored, nearby towns are a quick hop away. honestly i’m just tagging my way through alleys and posting this messy log before the next spray can runs out.
