Michael Portillo's Long Weekends (2024)

S1E5 Lisbon

Michael enjoys a weekend in Lisbon, starting with a tram ride through the narrow, winding streets of the medieval Alfama district, where he learns about the devastating effects of the 1755 earthquake. At the Campo de Ourique food market, he samples some unique local dishes, then visits a ceramics workshop to create his own tile. To top off his adventure, he takes control of a yacht and sets sail for the upscale seaside town of Cascais.
