Dusty football pitch with players and old fortress walls in the background
Overgrown courtyard with red roses and crumbling yellow walls inside the old city
Narrow alley with peeling yellow and blue painted walls in the Portuguese city
Narrow orange and terracotta alley with an arched doorway and potted plants
Cormorants perched on a seaweed-covered rock at the water's edge
Busy outdoor market with colourful parasols and vendors selling produce
My favourite market of the trip, busy, curved streets but with cordial crowds.
