A narrow street opens before you: blue-and-white azulejo tiles on the Capela das Almas glint in the late-morning light as the smell of baking drifts from a nearby pastelaria. Your guide gathers the group and the city begins to reveal itself through taste—salty canned fish, a steaming Francesinha, the sharp bubble of Vinho Verde, and a warm Pastel de Nata straight from the oven.
