Ilaria and Om in Portugal: Coimbra

So, after leaving Aveiro and the enchanted house of Lua de Sol, we headed to our next stage: Coimbra.

Coimbra is especially famous for its very old University (it was established in 1290!) and for the curious habits of its students: they wear fancy black clothes (regardless the temperature)...


...they are organized in "republics" that reside in some houses nearby the university...


...and they do strange things with black paint and bare feet in the night!


Coimbra streets and alleys were not stingy with colors, too:


So in the end Coimbra deserved a page of the Flying Sketchbook, and after drinking a cevada (barley coffe) Ilaria's eyes and hands had the right inspiration!
