Mouraria: Where Lisbon's Fado Was Born
Mariana Costa · Lisbon
Mouraria is Lisbon's oldest Moorish neighbourhood and the actual birthplace of fado — before it became a tourist attraction in Alfama. We walk through streets that were outside every tourist map 10 years ago and hear the history from someone who grew up here.
