This is what I love most about living here. It’s my perfect space and I can’t believe I get to live here. I moved in 4 years ago and have slowly filled it with a mixture of things I’ve found in Portugal; some that I have found on the streets nearby and done up as a craft project. It’s quiet but I’m steps away from all the action above.

The square itself is the place to be for pre-dinner drinks in the summer. Head to Black Sheep, talk to the fantastic team about the wines they have and choose what you’d like to enjoy, whilst sitting chatting and people watching on a bench in the square outside. It’s a mix of local residents and in-the-know tourists who found the summer place to be.

I could never move because I would be lost without my local coffee spot, Marquise. I’m always at the bakery side to get the best bread in Lisbon (you’ve likely eaten it as they provide to many restaurants around town), takeout coffees —and beans for home. Plus, I always know I’ll stop for a chat with the team. I think about their pastries when I’m out on a weekend run, and then have to grab on my way back! The cafe side is where I take friends for the prettiest hidden terrace. Places like this make somewhere feel like home.
