Thursday Doors – Évora

I always liked this photo, it was taken a long time ago and I have happy memories of the day in question. I also realised I don’t really have a clue of what this is. I was convinced it was one of the entrances to the University at Évora but I couldn’t find it on […]

CMMC – Words with 2 A’s

At first, this challenge looked a bit too hard. What could I find that had 2 A’s in its name? But then, it all started to fall into place… There are types of buildings. Here is the Throne Room at the Queluz Palace near Lisbon and the Alcázar in Seville. Or, places. Lochranza is in […]

Thursday Doors – Lisbon

We are in one of Lisbon’s most expensive streets, Avenida da Liberdade. For people who enjoy urban history this boulevard is great to study.
