Seven hills, tiled facades and a tram that rattles through every drawing you attempt.

Granite, iron balconies and the Douro folding the whole city into one grey-blue plane.

Ochre walls, cedar doorways and shade that moves faster than your pencil.

Two continents, one waterway, and ferries that hand you a new skyline every twelve minutes.

Low slate roofs, copper spires and a harbour clean enough to draw straight into.

Awnings stacked like scales, air-conditioner boxes and alleys that never run straight.

Steel, soot and the elevated loop — structure you can read at a glance and draw in an hour.

Tilted slabs, painted market stalls and a haze that flattens distance into value shapes.
