Lisbon, Jul 21 (EFE), (Camera: Nacho Ballesteros).- "It smells good, it smells like Lisbon", the famous Amália Rodrigues sang in one of her most famous fados.

A visit to the house, with specialized guides, allows us to get to know another side of Amália, the most personal part that wasn't known.""She was really a person who cultivated the sympathy of the Portuguese and who also adored the Portuguese, and that feeling lives among us."
