Editor's Note

Welcome to the August issue.

Most of Lisbon thins out this month. Marvila does the opposite of disappear. The warehouses stay open, the taprooms carry the heat, and the neighbourhood keeps its own company through the quietest weeks of the year.

What's on this month, all of it within a short walk or a short ride: 8 Marvila, artist studios, Dois Corvos, Musa, Casa do Capitão and the return of Festival Iminente in September.
