The unmistakable smell of roast chestnuts
is a sign that autumn has arrived in Lisbon. I noticed it yesterday as I strolled in Lisbon shopping district. Chestnuts are typically eaten to celebrate Saint Martin's day on November 11, but this is a tradition that goes far beyond that special day. I saw street vendors here and there. I didn't buy any from them because I don't like roasted chestnuts but chestnuts steamed with anise. For my curiosity, when I asked the price for 1 dozen of roasted chestnuts, I was told they were charging €2.0.
The days are still warm but shop windows already display Autumn fashion new arrivals.
