Terra cotta roofs and white washed buildings.

Vineyards and olive groves.

Port wine and fresh seafood. Painted tiles in blues and yellows.

Cork trees biding their time for harvest.

Tasty breads, dried meats  and olives.

Last year’s huge overripe oranges hanging on the same trees on which new orange blossoms perfume the air and set the fruit for the season ahead.
