The beauty of Plasa de Espana 🇪🇸💗

Built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition, this architectural masterpiece blends Renaissance and Moorish styles. The semi-circular design represents Spain embracing its former colonies, and you’ll see intricate ceramic tiles representing every Spanish province.

Stroll along the plaza, snap photos on the beautifully tiled bridges, or rent a rowboat for €6.

Fun fact: This plaza was a backdrop for Star Wars Episode II! It’s free to visit, and mornings or late afternoons are perfect for catching the best light—and fewer crowds!

What do you need to know before travelling to Lisbon, Portugal? 🤔
Here are 5 tips to get you started! ⬇

1. Use Public Transport
The city’s trams, buses, and metro are affordable and efficient. Tram 28 is iconic but can get crowded, so try to catch it early or late in the day for a more comfortable ride.

2. Wear Comfortable Shoes
Lisbon is known as the “City of Seven Hills,” and its cobblestone streets and steep inclines can be a workout. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring!

3. Time Your Visits
Tourist spots like Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, and São Jorge Castle can get busy. Arrive early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid long queues.

4. Prepare for the Sun
Lisbon enjoys plenty of sunshine, even in winter. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself, especially if you plan to explore outdoor attractions.

5. Try Pastéis de Nata
Don’t miss the famous custard tarts! Pastéis de Belém, near Jerónimos Monastery, is a popular spot, but almost any café will offer delicious versions of this treat.

Travel: A Privilege

Did you know that only 6% of the world’s population holds a passport? For many, the ability to travel freely is a privilege that comes with citizenship, finances, and access to resources.

In countries like Canada and the USA, we often take for granted the freedom our passports provide. The Canadian passport allows visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 185+ countries! Compare that to places like Afghanistan, where passport holders can only access 27 countries without restrictions.

Here’s another perspective:

- Millions of people can’t travel abroad due to financial barriers, strict government policies, or lack of access to passports.
- Some nations, like North Korea, heavily restrict their citizens from leaving altogether.

Travel is not just about the destinations—it’s about recognizing the opportunities we’re afforded. For those of us who can explore the world, it’s a gift we should cherish and respect.

Let’s travel with gratitude, learn about the cultures we visit, and use our privilege to make the world a better, more connected place. 💙
