Buying a ticket to the party! The night before June 13th, the eve of Saint Anthony, is Lisbon’s longest night, in a month of celebration welcoming the summer. And in almost everywhere you can feel the vibe, specially in the older quarters, but also in unusual places like a ticket booth of the subway. #santospopulares #santoantonio #street #lisbon #lisboa #sonyrx100 #vsco #snapshot #instagram www.instagram.com/p/ByoIadg…

Uploading a new batch of older photos to my site. These ones are from  Lazarim, the place with the old Carnival made of wooden masks.https://photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/index/G0000QjsavBbzXPM

A big thank you to the organization for the invitation!!

Another year, another edition of the International Iberian Mask Festival (FIMI) that now reaches its end . Like always, dozens of groups from the Iberian Peninsula and beyond gather in Lisbon for a few days. I rarely takes photos there, each year I’m more focused on having a good time and seeing old friends, but I always end up taking some snapshots!
