Free Tour Alfama Moorish and Christian (Native Spanish guide)
Tour description
Explore ALFAMA, a neighborhood where the water runs in countless sources, hence its name from Arabic roots (Al Hama / thermal water).
Encounter of cultures, we will look out from its viewpoints, such as that of Santa Luzia, towards its Tejo River, which illuminates alleys, becos and bars, all at a dizzying pace of character and lineage. You will see where 2 vital cultures for the city converge, the Moorish and the Christian, and the remains of its Jewish Quarter that gave so much prestige and money to Lisbon.
