Cristo Rei

Cristo Rei - Next to the replica Golden Gate Bridge is a replica of the Brazilian statue of Jesus (Cristo Redentor) in Rio. Construction on the statue of Christ the King was begun in 1952 and completed in 1959. Portugal is something outrageous like 95% Roman Catholic. It's actually quite an impressively large statue, and you can get great views of the Tejo River, the 25 Abril bridge, and Lisbon from the top of the pedestal. Noon was a great time to go - lots of shots of Jesus with the sun overhead or slightly behind him. Muy ethereal!

Spring and food

Starting March 6th you can enjoy Lisbon’s best food at more affordable prices. This is the city’s “Restaurant Week,” allowing you to taste some of the Portuguese capital’s most sophisticated (and expensive) menus for only 20 euros per person. It’s a way of attracting people who don’t usually want to spend dozens (or even hundreds) of euros at the most expensive restaurants and give them a chance to sample the city’s best food. Not all restaurants are part of the event, as the idea is to highlight the best of the top-quality choices. So there are 25 of them in total, with Casa da Comida, Conventual, Cop’3, Eleven, Mezzaluna, Olivier, and XL among others. No, you won’t be able to just choose anything if you want to only pay 20 euros. Each restaurant will have special menus at that price. Those menus include appetizer, entrée, and dessert but no drinks. One euro from each meal will then be given to charity. It is advised that you reserve your table in advance, and be sure to ask about availability, since some restaurants only offer the special menu at lunch time and others limit the number of people per table. And in April, it moves to the Algarve, from April 22 to May 3, with 22 restaurants.
