Couple photoshoot in Alfama: viewpoints, tiles and trams

A late-July morning in Alfama: viewpoints, tiled terraces, bougainvillea over the lanes, and a yellow tram to finish.

The route

Miradouro das Portas do Sol

The classic view over the rooftops to the river.

Santa Luzia

A shaded terrace with a tile bench under a tree, then the pergola.

Alfama lanes

Bougainvillea, a tiled wall and a stone bench.

The cathedral

The Sé, with the tram rails in front of it.

A yellow tram

The last frames next to a yellow tram and a yellow façade.

Light and timing

Summer mornings in Alfama are the quietest time of day. We started early, before the tour groups, and the light stayed soft until the end.
