Perfect for
Sunny solo wanders with a battered novel
Book or show energy
A slow, wistful Elena Ferrante chapter by the sea
Ideal visit rhythm
Tram in the morning, miradouros at golden hour, fado after dark
My take
Feels like someone stretched a sleepy village over a set of dramatic hills and sprinkled in melancholy and custard tarts. I always walk slower here, like the city will spoil if I rush it.
