You won't be able to escape getting lost in the
narrow streets of Alfama.
Step
into the maze of its medieval alleys, peeking into tiny
shops, admiring tile panels, flowerpots and drying laundry on wrought-iron
balconies; go up and down precipitous staircases, let yourself be guided by
the sound of caged canaries or the smells of fish on grills, and eventually
you reach a tiny square with a whitewashed church, an inviting restaurant, a
terrace with views of the river.
Before you know it, you're back in familiar
territory with the sensation that getting lost has never been so
captivating.
