Coimbra. "The city is part of our house"

That's the impression I got after spend many ours cycling on Coimbra. Looking
the streets, the houses, the walls, the things hanging on the streets, on the
walls, on the houses, ... one discover that the street and by extension the
city is a prolongation of the houses. And the life on the streets is a living
expression of what is happening on the houses.

I was expecting a bigger city, but the downtown is very small. Maybe because
is on a mountain. But later I discovered that the city itself is quite big.

One of my biggest surprises arrived near the end, on a park on the shore of
the river... What a nice place...
