Lisbon Calling
Lisboa is situated at 38°42' north, 9°5' west, making it the westernmost capital in mainland Europe.
It lies at the point where the river Tagus flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
Lisboa is the city of the seven hills.
Lisboa is made of blue bright skies.
Lisboa is long big summer days.
Lisboa where the trams ride up in clouds.
Lisboa is the city of poets.
Lisboa is where I was born.
Lisboa is home.
But it’s not this Lisboa we are going to talk about tonight.
We’re going to talk about “Lisboa” the coffeeshop in London.
We’re going to hear the people that go to “Lisboa” and can’t live without it.
We’re going to talk about portuguese custard tarts (pasteis de nata).
We’re going to discuss identity and what makes me Portuguese.
