Picture yourself walking the cobbled streets of Lisbon during the Christmas season. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of Portuguese delicacies, maybe roasted chestnuts. This atmosphere inspired the making of this elegant Christmas illustration that embodies the essence of a Portuguese Christmas. It's a heartwarming scene, depicting a blue façade of an old traditional Portuguese house adorned with wooden doors and windows, and two Christmas trees,. Join me on this magical Christmas journey through Lisbon's charming streets.




The Setting: Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and vibrant atmosphere. During the holiday season, the city transforms into a winter wonderland. As a tourist, you'll be captivated by the unique blend of tradition and festivity that characterizes the Portuguese Christmas spirit.

The Blue Façade:  The color blue is one of many that you might find in the Portuguese Lisbon house's façades. In Christianity, blue is often associated with the Virgin Mary. It represents her purity, humility, and maternal qualities. It symbolizes her role as the mother of Jesus and the embodiment of virtuous qualities. And that's why it was picked for this illustration.

Wooden Doors and Windows: As you gaze upon Lisbon old street houses, you can't help but notice the intricate wooden doors and windows. These elements are not just functional; they are a testament to the craftsmanship of Portuguese artisans. The elaborate carvings and details add a touch of nostalgia and authenticity to the scene. Note the wrought iron details of many doors, adorned with delicate scrolls.

Portuguese Pavement: Beneath your feet, the distinctive Portuguese pavement, known as "calçada," creates an exquisite mosaic. The geometric patterns and black-and-white designs are a hallmark of Lisbon's streets, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the surroundings.

Christmas Trees and Decorations: Two cute Christmas trees, standing proudly by the entrance, are adorned with a colorful array of Christmas balls.  As you stroll along, you'll find lots of Christmas trees, on the street, on stores, some small, and some as tall as a building!

The Christmas Wreath: A festive Christmas wreath graces the door of the house, a symbol of warmth and welcome. It is a traditional Portuguese custom to adorn homes with wreaths during the Christmas season. This vectorial illustration depicts a sense of community and togetherness that defines a Portuguese Christmas.

 Portuguese Christmas it's a time of tradition, togetherness, and joy. The streets come alive with the unique blend of historical architecture and the merriment of the holiday season. The harmonious blend of traditional Portuguese architecture and the joyful holiday spirit creates a magical atmosphere in the streets.  In Lisbon, and also in Porto,  history, tradition, and festivity converge to create an unforgettable street celebration that inspired the creation of this illustration-
