Al-Hamma

56 Seconds Read

Alfama (from arabic Al-hamma), the medieval, with its Moorish and Islamic origins, quarter of Lisbon which happens to be heart of city, a small village that dwells within the big city limits, where the time has a different meaning, it hasn’t stopped but refused to go faster, and “modern” is a fancy, outsider word. My favorite place to be a traveler within my own city and wander in the maze of narrow streets, something very few of my fellow citizens do in non-festive occasions, the time of the year where most of the old quarters become a massive popular party ground but, on the other hand, loose their slower pace.

My passion for photography is driven by my passion for travel, either in remote locations or discovering hidden places in my country or my hometown, to discover who lives there, and all photos reflect my perspective from those wanderings.
