IN LOVE WITH LISBON

Just a quick post to let you know of another wonderful resource about Lisbon on the web.
Philip Graham has spent a year living in Lisbon and has written a series of dispatches about his experiences there. Poignant, humourous and richly detailed, he brings the city to life on the page. The full series will be published later this year as a book but there is plenty to read at the McSweeneys website. You can also listen to a podcast of a radio interview that Philip did here.

I have just discovered that Lonely Planet have started creating podcasts on Portugal “Sounds and Sights of Portugal”. In this episode, a traveller discusses visiting Northern Portugal focusing on Porto and Braga and life in rural Portugal. A fascinating listen. Of course I’m waiting for an episode on Lisbon
