I love getting to destinations by back streets. They tend to offer a more authentic view of the city than the broad commercial avenues with their crowds and endless souvenir shops.

We found this scene while heading up the hill to the Castle of São Jorge. As steep climb from our apartment near the Tagus River, but more interesting.

The Atelier itself was, at one time, a small artisan ceramic shop. It seemed a bit worse for the wear when we passed by, and the windows were covered in cardboard.
