Yesterday and the day before we were visiting
Coimbra, a city full of students with one of the oldest
Universities, founded in 1290. The students follow a special
dress code, they wear black suits, white shirts, black ties and long capes (unfortunately we can only transfer pictures from Kristina's camera and she didn't photograph them). One of the highlights of Coimbra for us was listening to
fado while drinking Port wine in an atmospheric 14th century church that has been transformed into a candlelit
cocktail lounge.
