From #Lisbon, #Portugal, to #Cordoba, #Spain. A short trip for working and meeting good old friends at the #university. No time for tourism, but I'll share some typical impressions of the #streets that look just like how I remember them after 14 years. ____ #Andalucía #Europe

Impressions of #Lisboa this sunny morning. The old #tram, a #subway car in a rare exhibit outside its tunnel. The last two photos show the old #Navy arsenal, #dock and #drydock. ____ #UrbanPhotography #Photography #Cities #Lisbon #Portugal #EuropeanUnion

It is been a while, folks. I recently became the #dad of a beautiful healthy boy. My first. I cannot express the joy. Words just do not suffice. I must forever thank #MaternidadeAlfredoDaCosta in #Lisboa, their staff and SNS_Portugal. ____ #Fatherhood #Portugal #Lisbon #Europe

Unknown cute little friend, found lost indoors being chased by the cat. Safely returned to the #wilderness of the roofs of #Lisbon. ____ #SpiderOfTheWeek #Spider #Arachnid #AnimalPhotography #UrbanPhotography #Lisboa

Landscapes of #masstourism #Lisbon. #Noise, #trash all over, human excrements in #streets used as latrines. Decaying pavements and all else; #tourist traps replacing commerce. Raging #housingcrisis and #inflation making living impossible. ____ #Lisboa #Portugal #City #AntiAirbnb

#Train trip from #Lisboa to Universidade Aveiro, beautiful #Aveiro, #Portugal. Mostly work, not much time for sightseeing. Bought #ovosmoles, though. ____ #Science #Academia #NoHoliday

Taking the young gentleman out to get acquainted with the #parks and #gardens of #Lisbon on hot #summer mornings. #JardimBotânicoTropical today, #JardimDaEstrela last week (fourth photo). Escapes from two pests, #heat and #masstourism. ____ #Lisboa #Portugal #Europe #DadLife

Thank you Bordalo II for the perfect summary of things. Thank you #JMJLisboa2023, Carlos Moedas, and everyone else responsible for turning #Lisbon, capital of a so-called modern #EuropeanUnion secular state, even more unbearable for residents. ____ @Lisboa Lisboa #NotInMyName

An escape from the #JMJ2023 hell that held my city of #Lisboa, and in fact all of #Portugal, hostage. #Countryside #holiday dump, including my own cooking (as good as it looks) and #SpiderOfTheWeek. ____ #AntiMassTourism #SickOfReligion #Europe #Spider

Among several things that need to be clarified after #JMJLisboa2023, 'why' in a laic state and with public funding to begin with, is the reason for removing these billboards from public places in #Oeiras, near #Lisbon. ___ #JMJ2023 #NotInMyName #DemocracyFails #SickOfReligion

Flat tire in the #countryside and refuge in an abandoned #trainstation under the scorching sun of the noon. #Rastaparta. Notice the #ruins of the last #village festivities ('#arraial') in the third photo. ____ #Bicycle #Railroad #Alentejo #Portugal #Europe #Photography

Not a new problem, just not in the best interest of the ruling powers. Instead of asking how much do we gain from tourism, it is time to ask how much do we lose. 'Wish you weren’t here! How tourists are ruining the world’s greatest destinations' theguardian.com/travel/2023/au…

The #Portuguese #cruiser #Adamastor (1896-1934), early 1900s, still waving the colours of the monarchy (based on an old photo). I haven't done this is a while, so it seemed an appropriate restart to draw one of my fetish #ships. ____ Marinha #digitalart #drawing #navy

This day, 113 years ago, the #Portuguese #Republic was proclaimed by members of the provisional government at the balcony of the #Lisbon town hall, bringing the nation's decrepit monachy regime to an end. ____ #Portugal #Europe #Lisboa #5outubro #ImplantaçãoDaRepública

The legacy of #tourism 1. Dirty, noisy streets reeking of beer and urine. Raging #housing costs and #inflation. #Underemployment. Makeshift renos. Destroying #nature to serve a non-innovative #economy. ____ #antiairbnb #antitourism #touristsnotwelcome #housingcrisis #portugal

The legacy of #tourism 2. Death of traditional #commerce and local #neighbourhoods. Total neglect of #culturalheritage to favour thrill-seeking attention-whoring #tourists. No sense of community. No space for the living. ____ #antiairbnb #antitourism #touristsnotwelcome #lisbon

The legacy of #tourism 3. What are the #environmental costs of moving millions around the #world to take narcissistic #selfies, get drunk and buy junk? How much #fossilfuel is required? And #plastics? How much #water? ____ #antiairbnb #antitourism #touristsnotwelcome #pollution

#Lisbon, #city of #dogshit. Besides #noise, #inflation and raging #housingcrisis, @airbnb #tourists bring their dogs, but no baggies or education. Welcome to #poo central, Carlos Moedas. A city for who? Not for citizens. ____ Municipio de Lisboa #Lisboa #Portugal #antiairbnb #touristsnotwelcome
