You step off a tram into a patchwork of sun-warmed tiles and narrow alleys where the Tagus river murmurs just out of sight. The group threads through a neighborhood of working kitchens and tile-fronted taverns, the air carrying the scent of frying garlic and a slow-simmered stew. Conversation drifts between bites; laughter punctuates the clink of glasses.
