A new Madrid-Lisbon high-speed train will cut journey times from ten hours to three.

A new high-speed train route linking Madrid and Lisbon aims to be operational by 2030 - when the two countries will be co-hosting the FIFA World Cup.

The two capitals have not been linked by a direct train since 2020, when Spain's state-owned rail company Renfe discontinued its overnight train-hotel service.

The Miradouro de São Vicente is one of the many wonderful viewpoints in Lisbon. But it's also a place where skateboarders practice their tricks. Despite many tourists in this place, I've got some nice shots. I was later able to identify this person as Rafael Vieira, who was filming a short promo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA46yS2dUZU).

This tile artwork by Maria Keil, "Pastores" (Shepherds) is at the Museu Nacionaldo Azulejo in Lisbon. Walking through the museum, I came across this, which was easily the coolest piece in the gallery.

And that led me down the rabbit hole of wikipedia, where I learned more about this amazing person, who many among other things designed the tile for the Lisbon subway:
