#14 has chutzpah - not only plants, but a clothesline above the sidewalk, too! Although I can see the point of view that just because one lives directly on the street, one should not have to give up all the advantages that are enjoyed by apartment dwellers with balconies/courtyards.
Interesting. How is the 3 Amigos Mexican restaurant near you? Mexican food is one of the few things we miss about the U.S. Whenever we go to Lisboa we always go to a variety of restaurants as around here there are only Portuguese restaurants, some specializing in meats others in fish. We also have pizza.
Such a beautiful array of doors ! The green is very classic and elegant, in my humble opinion. I caught glimpses of iron work on windows. Is this equally noteworthy? Are exterior shutters a thing?
Ahhhhhh! Love the doors here! My camera roll holds nearly 300 photos of Portuguese doors by now. Some of them are shared at the link below.
Thanks for sharing your doors, and the delightful story. And yeah, that door slamming would drive me crazy! In our flat, it's the buzzer people ring that drives me up the wall, which then sets the dogs off barking adding insult to injury. They don’t even ring it to see us, they just want in the building to see someone else I guess, and since we're on the first floor it's like they just automatically choose our buzzer? And we have no way of knowing if it's a random stranger not coming to see us or a package delivery we're expecting or whatever, so we buzz them in just in case and the majority of the time it's not us they are seeking. So they got the dogs riled up for nothing. And often that's what gets us out of bed in the morning, too. Fun times.
You could generate a wonderful poster/print of the doors of your block!

Whoa! Hopefully in peaceful coexistence. Flying papaya not needed.
Love the door photos but the Fruitaria shot is my favorite.

Love it! Wonderful imagination, variety, and good reason to go for a walk!
Vibrant photos. Love the recording.

Love the doors! One of my favorite things when traveling. Along with lamp posts and arches. Thanks for sharing.
Love the photos! Need more info on the box-like structure that appears to be attached to the green door at #40. What's going on there?
I absolutely love your door showcase. It’s always so beautiful seeing Lisbon through your eyes!!!
I love the green doors with the plants. I even have a couple of those plants. Green and red Shamrock!
I love the idea of a dog who barks at people coming from one direction but not the other! Too bad they aren't stationed at a castle gate.
Luv European doors - tell a history
Wow!! What a variety!! Interesting at least!! Keeps you looking!!
Thanks.
