There is probably no better suited place to experience the nostalgia of fado than Alfama, the oldest district of Lisbon spreading down the slope between the Castle of Lisbon and the Tejo river, one that withstood the earthquake of 1775. Switch your inner compass on because you are bound to get lost cruising among the Lisbon Cathedral, the Museum of Decorative Arts, and several observation points that command perplexing views. But many don't want to find their way back anyway for Alfama mesmerizes with wiggling cobbled streets, azulejos-tiled walls and fado oozing melancholically from quaint little bars.
