Baixa - Coimbra, Portugal

This town haunts me...

How could it not.

"Baixa" means something like "downtown area" in Portuguese, and usually refers to old parts of towns and cities (what you would call "Altstadt" in Germany, for example).
For years now, there has been talk of actually roofing this area to make it more agreeable in rain.
Luckily, none of those plans have become reality yet, and hopefully never will. I'm not sure how easy shopping in the rain would compensate for the loss of a view like this.

Anyhow, Portugal being the poor country it is, this area isn't exactly well maintained, so this view is an endagered species anyway.
