I stayed at Filadélfia Hospedagens, a charming hotel to the north of the town, above a district delightfully called "Oxford", in beautuful grounds. The town shuts down rather at weekends, alas.

The weather was perfect: sunny and crisp.

This is a simple kind of painting that I am working with: the style owes a fair bit to Morandi.
