Bairro Alto

DATE: Aug 26, 2011   PHOTOGRAPHER: Gossip

“Bairro Alto (or just Bairro), which means literally Higher District in Portuguese, is the heart of Lisbon's youth culture and nightlife. Lisbon's punk, gay, heavy metal music, goth, hip hop and reggae scenes all have the Bairro as their home, due to the number of clubs and bars dedicated to each of them. During daytime, the Bairro is a traditional district where older people shop for groceries, and the younger generations visit art galleries like Zé dos Bois, bookshops like Ler Devagar or arty gift shops like Hold Me." I love Lisbon, I love Portugal and I love Gossip for being my friend, lending me her window and shooting this awesome set.”
