June celebrates St. Anthony, St. John the baptist, and St. Peter with bonfires, grilled sardines, wine, singing and dancing We should pick and choose what we want to see in Lisbon, there is so much, and we are here only one day.

It was designed by a student of the man that designed the Eiffel tower and has that lacy iron look. The views from here were beautiful.
