Big Bend Times publisher David Flash recently visited Lisbon, Portugal — a city known for its colorful tiled facades, historic trams, and dramatic hills lined with cobblestone streets. Lisbon blends old-world charm with modern vibrancy, offering everything from traditional Fado music to bustling cafés and stunning viewpoints across the city.
For readers in Alpine, Texas, Lisbon may feel like another world — it’s roughly 5,000 miles away, with a direct flight from Dallas to Lisbon taking about 9–10 hours.
