| Of course Santa visits Portugal too! |
With just a couple of days left before Christmas...we took the subway to downtown to check out the lights and enjoy the Christmas spirit of Lisbon. Sadly, most of our pictures of the lights didn't turn out well but it was a beautiful display of lighted streets and trees amid the ancient buildings and new shopping centers. The most amazing thing we went to see was the lighting of the arch in the main plaza of Lisbon. (the biggest in the city) We were told not to miss it and we caught it on the last night of it's showing. It was really amazing and we were not disappointed! It is difficult to describe. It was a lazer light show projected on the face of the arch, complete with sound, music and animated figures. They used the architecture of the building, windows, arches, statues etc as part of the show. Like I said...can't be described but was worth the trip. There were about a thousand gathered in the square to watch it. There are very few lighted homes & windows in this area as most live in apartments, but the street lighting is awesome.
