Damaia part of Amadora is not exactly part that any tourist would visit. But this place has so much to offer. You will not find some nice statues or petite cafés or famous Portuguese bakery. But there is something more. The mixture of cultures that could not be found in any other place in Portugal. Immigrants from former Portuguese colonies are here in one quite small area.
As you can see area has lots of problems with housing, security getting all the services needed. Taking pictures were not easy. People are quite scared of publicity. There are so many issues here. Immigration, integration, poverty, slums, trafficking, low expectations and all of them should be dealt with. There is big need of another blog post just to describe situation how people are living here. For now you can see the pictures to get very general image.
Not everything is negative of course. Just here it is possible to see these completely different parts of the world. Taste cuisine that is again something worth of different blog post. People that are far from their homelands can live in their communities. And one can have the view of the real life.
