I spent the past couple days in Lisbon visiting the office and getting to know my colleagues, since I never met them before. While it was a great experience, it was very short!
Since every time I’m visiting a new city, I like to do a run and get to know the surroundings better, this time I chose the biggest green spot on Google Maps and created a route through that park. It was Parque Florestal de Monsanto.
A very nice and big park where I would have liked to spend more time there to discover the trails in it, I had to stick to my route because I had limited time before going to office. Overall, it’s a nice park but there are many small roads that are paved; so the route I prepared from home (trail running and following popular routes on Garmin) used the paved roads half of distance I think.
Nevertheless, it was a nice early morning run! By the way, during the 2 hours run through the city and the park, I’ve 3 people running! Compared to Barcelona where I would have seen hundreds at the same hours. Guess running is not a big deal there…
