This is the Avenida da Igreja, in Alvalade, near my home. I often come here for coffee. We drink coffee a lot in Portugal, a short expresso after each meal. This is a quiet part of Lisbon, with a very distinctive 1940/50s look. We're lucky to live here, as the quality of life is very good and we're still in the centre of the capital This picture was taken in August 2004.
