Life Abroad in Portugal with Bob Tapper 🇵🇹
S5:Ep2 - Wintering in Lisbon, Portugal
FEBRUARY 2024
Welcome to my February podcast, broadcasting live from Lisbon where the weather has been delightful, marked by sunny days occasionally interrupted by refreshing rain showers. Nestled in a cozy Airbnb, conveniently situated for optimal productivity, I've found the perfect base for my creative endeavors.
Undoubtedly, the highlight of my trip has been my engagement with a local filmmaking group. Fueled by my passion to contribute both on and off-screen, I've embraced every opportunity to immerse myself in the creative process. Amidst occasional touristy exploits, such as leisurely explorations of Lisbon's charm and a memorable visit to the awe-inspiring Sanctuary of Cristo Rei in Almada, I've relished the chance to witness the city's beauty and contribute to its vibrant cultural scene.
In this episode:
- Nomadic challenges
- Filmmaking Group, making films, and Friday night drinks
- Cristo Rei (Christ the King)
- Back to the UK soon

Cristo Rei (Christ the King)
The Cristo Rei statue was built in response to a vow made by Portugal's Catholic bishops in 1940, during World War II, to construct a monument to Christ if the country remained neutral throughout the conflict. After Portugal emerged unscathed, the bishops kept their promise, and construction began in 1951.
