"Portuguese men tend to be worldly, well-educated and brimming with pride for their small but scenic country. In Lisbon, the often tall, charismatic and athletic gentlemen might surprise you with their firm grasp of not only their own culture but that of the other nations as well. All this said, tradition is still held in high regard for these divine manifestations of old-world values. They would surely appreciate an impromptu Fado performance at one of the many bars in the Barrio Alto, or a nostalgic stroll in the Alfama District – one of the most delightfully preserved sections of the city. Whatever you decide to do, these Latin seducers are guaranteed to sweep you off your feet."
Este saloiismo lisboeta fez-me lembrar o episódio do "senhor do adeus", ao que parece, uma pessoa famosa na capital mas desconhecida do resto do país. Ainda assim, quando faleceu, mereceu honras de notícia em todos os canais. Consta que era um idoso, parado no meio da rua, a acenar ao carros que passavam. Um extravagante, por estar em Lisboa; aqui, em Leça, ou mais para sul, no Porto, seria mais um maluco.
