​Cheers fill the air as stalls overflow with music, laughter, beer and grilled delicacies. I’ve arrived at the Saint Anthony Festival, Lisbon’s ode to the treasures of the sea. Here, it’s cool to be a fish out of water. Scents of the ocean vivify the winding serpentine streets and fresh flavours say ‘olá’ to vibrant colours.

It’s oceanic bliss; a city-wide salute to these salty little splendours. A reminder to preserve your spirit. And when you feel the call, to swim against the tide.
