Antoni Miró, Ocas a Lisboa
Lisbon, January 29, 2000. Legend has it that Lisbon was founded by Ulysses. We exit the Metro into the Praça dos Restauradores. But the Phoenicians were probably the first to settle here. It is a late Saturday morning. (The Lonely Planet Guide.) Two teenagers, a boy and a girl, are standing in front of a bar called O Pirata, where middle-aged types slowly sip their glasses of wine. Three thousand years ago. The kids dressed in Chicago Bulls warm-up suits, white jackets, full-length white pants. Attracted by the fine harbor and strategic hill, they called the city Alis Uppo (Delightful Shore). Road Runner Records has huge displays in its window. Others soon recognized its delightful qualities. For Sepultura, Coal Chamber, Misfit, Machine Head. Greeks displaced the Phoenicians and were booted out by Carthaginians. We pause at a large modern bookstore that says it has branches in Amsterdam and Seville. (Possibly,4)
