Alfama in lockdown

Lisbon lockdown sound recorded by Inigo Sanchez.
"The city of Lisbon is in lockdown. The streets have gone quiet, and the noise of traffic has been progressively replaced by birds vocalisation and an awkward silence.
"In traditional neighbourhoods such as Alfama, the sounds coming from the domestic space fill the space of the narrow cobbled streets that characterise the area, making the place sounding alive in the midst of the confinement."
