Hello visitors to Lisbon! My name is Victor and I love showing everyone the good things about where I live, meeting people from all over the world and sharing knowledge. I am from Granada who has lived in different places around the world and I have to say that a part of my heart always stays in any of those places, or vice versa. In Lisbon, where I have been for a few years, this has also happened to me. I am passionate about knowing the roots, curiosities and history that make cities like Lisbon irreplaceable for me. And I want to share those feelings with you. I am sure that if you still do not know the meaning of the Portuguese expression "saudade", you will soon know it.
