Why is Portugal so decadent?

On arrival
See you Largo da Portagem, a square that you can easily find in front of the principal bridge of Coimbra, in front of the Banco de Portugal, a big ancient building very well lightened.
The guide will be holding a colored folder instead of an umbrella so that it will be easier to recognize it since you see many umbrellas around but there are very few people waiting with folders in hand.
Things to note
Use comfortable shoes :)
Bring water and an umbrella, which is useful on both hot and rainy days.
