Our European Adventures - Part 2 Lisbon

We climbed up to the base of the Christ the King statue which overlooks the City of Lisbon on the opposite bank of the River Tagus. It is based on the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro and stands on a Holy site.
We had a good luck at the Navigator's Statue overlooking the river. It commemorates the Portuguese explorers with, I think, Prince Henry the Navigator at the front.
We then went on a guided tour of the city centre. This picture of the main square was taken from a coach - hence the reflection.

After an overnight stay in a hotel, we travelled south along the coast across the border back into Spain with Cadiz as our next stop.
