RUA

We have reached chapter 10, and with it comes the desire to pay tribute to Lisbon, my home, this city that welcomed me, full of colors and history.

I have spent many hours sitting on your streets, contemplating you, observing the people who are mesmerized by you, and I, along with them. Sometimes I ask myself, what is it that you have, Lisbon, that makes you so magical, so unique?

That beautiful nostalgia that runs through every corner, the energy of the Tagus caressing your shores, the vibrant colors that wrap around you, walking with my head held high to admire your architecture, your tiles that decorate the soul, your magical nooks where moments are lived, your music, your tradition.

Saudade, that word you taught me, understanding that you can miss something with love because what was lived was beautiful.

How could I not be inspired by you and your streets, the most beautiful and nostalgic city life has given me, today my home.

Lisbon is not looked at, it is contemplated.
