About this Blog
Welcome to my newest blog. Alta de Lisboa is a new(ish) area in Lisbon which has been designed from the ground up. It was this planning that drew me here in the first place.
There are already lots of blogs about Alta de Lisboa and I hope this blog will bring a slightly different angle by adding an Anglo Saxon view of the area.
I will first look at the area as a whole then (in later posts) cover smaller issues that affect the area.
I hope to be objective and not biased. Although I live here, I am not going to try and sell Alta for SGAL (the group that are managing the development of the area) neither do I wish to bring it down. My sole intent is to give an insider’s view to Alta de Lisboa.
Hi. Just wondering how the hell you got here…
What do you mean? Why did I come to Lisbon or why did I come to Alta? Or Portugal?
I came here to be with my wife (who is Portuguese) and we decided to buy in Alta as the area is so promising. We heard about it through publicity and we used to walk our dogs in the old Quinta das Conchas (when we lived just off Av. Roma).
Hope this helps
