Anyone been to Lisbon?

[sasguru]

Are you some rich blokes plaything?

[Moscow Mule]

Cata plana (or however you spell it). That risotto-y thing that comes in a big folding pan.

That's the one redeeming feature of Portugal. Oh, and the Atlantic surf - two redeeming features...

I know you are some blokes plaything sas. Was asking Lucy.

[Pinto]

do go see a fado show, jus to see how bad music can be - so bad it's funny!

Usually, the guitarists are very good. As far as the singers go, there's good and not so good, depends on how lucky you are, but the fado style of music is definitely not for everybody. Just like bag pipe music, for example, You tend to either love it or hate it.

Yes, a buttplug in every sense of the word.

[KathyWoolfe]

Shoot, I'd be for enough money. But it might be quite a lot.

Same here - beats working for a living

Don't they have flamenco in Portugal as well as Spain?

[roadster198]

Go watch The Rangers pump Sporting Lisbon

You can take a tram or train to the Santo Amaro docks, which is now a marina with quite a large parade of bars/restaurants and easy access to the jeronimos monastery and belem tower (nearby is the most famous place for "pasteis de belem" (portuguese custard tarts))

you can then take the same train line to Cascais, as mentioned by MickeyP.

Yes Docas is great for a night out. That and the area around Expo. I didn't much care for the Bairro Alto area of Lisbon that the locals raved on about (bit Bohemian for my liking).
