A Town Harry Potter Would Love


Somewhere, in the hills of central Portugal, there is a town where students walk to class in full length black capes, the fabric brushing the cobblestoned streets

A town with a confection of architecture


Where a chapel has been converted into a coffee shop



And a confessional into a bathroom

From a distance, the university town of Coimbra looks like it has been pulled from the pages of a fairytale

A town where students sing in the streets




Past an old woman selling boiled fava beans


With touches all around 

that remind one 

of Hogwarts
