Signature stat or feature

Beach, dense historic core, and one of the most beloved transit-plus-walking combos in Europe.

My take

Imagine if Boston’s North End kept going until it hit a warm beach, then someone added Gaudí for fun. Time zones and language are the only things keeping me from impulsively moving.
