Alfama

1000 yr old area of Lisbon. Rebuilt after earthquake.  Rent control so most elderly pay only 5 euro per month rent. Hang baskets with shopping lists from windows so someone coming by can do their shopping as no elevators. Only area of Lisbon dogs can run free. Very narrow streets with tiny cars zipping down.
