My kingdom for a horse....and a castle

You can tell a lot about a city by its castle and the Castelo de Sao Jorge of Lisbon is no exception.  Lying within the Moorish walls, the terraces, fountains, gardens and ....peacocks lead you to magnificent vistas of the city all the way to the ocean beyond.  I am sure that this most splendid monument could reveal some of the less savoury chapters of Lisbon's past, but I prefer not to ask.  Instead, I intend to enjoy a delightfully cheeky Pasmados Vinho Tinto, a slightly raw but passable red, perfect for a quick quaff to start the evening.

  1. I love your description of Lisbon, and that you are enjoying the view nursing a raw red...sounds very apt. I want to go there immediately!
