This was an awesome experience to spend a countless moments on the bank of peaceful Rio Tejo (Tegus), strolling around the beautiful lanes of Alfama with colourful flowers peeping out of the balconies of the old typical houses, listening to the breathtaking melodies in the incredibly romantic set up of Rua Augusta and engineering my Bengali-spirit with the delicious dishes of fresh Cod and Sardine, served hot! It is Lisboa, as they call it, the capital of Portugal. The purpose of this visit was to attend a conference organized by European Society of Evolutionary Biology (ESEB); however the accomplishment was far beyond science and research. Here are some of the snaps I clicked in Lisbon.
