Belem, Lisbon, Portugal - The Alfama Fado Music - Scenes of Spain - Jorge Aruzaga a Spanish Hunger Striker

My husband and I spent a month in Portugal and Spain.  Here are videos I did of Belem an historical area of Lisbon, Portugal.  I was most impressed with the Berardo Collection Museum. Its collection covers all the major movements of the 20th and 21st century.  We stayed to very nice young men who took us to hear Fado Music in the oldest part of Lisbon, the Alfama. Next video are scenes from Madrid, Spain, I emphasize the Royal Palace and its gardens with a musical accompaniment by a street violinist.  Finally I interview Jorge Aruzaga a young Spanish hunger striker protesting the government's handling of the grave Spanish economic crisis
