I had once travelled to Portugal with my family at a young age, and remembering the trip fondly, I had always vowed to come back one day.

In 2019 the opportunity presented itself as I was invited to a wedding in Sintra, a beautiful town famed for its picturesqueness and historic romanticist architecture, located just 45 minutes away from Lisbon.

After the wedding concluded I made the trip down to the city of Lisbon where convened with a good friend of mine. We both stayed in the historical neighborhood of Alfama and in the following days, proceeded to have a thoroughly wholesome time exploring Lisbon’s rich historic and culinary culture.

Lisbon left such an impression on me that I returned again in 2020, while complementing the trip with an extended visit to Porto and a day long excursion to the white beaches of Comporta.

The Images presented here are a series of impressions that were captured during these two trips.
