Wonderful cultural location. Started our holiday with Festival of St Anthony’s, during the festival of Sardines. Ending with the first match of Portugal World Cup. One festival after another creating many few days right out our front door. In saying that never found the partying annoying.
On the downside beware the stairs they are super steep and very shallow. We enjoyed ourselves but if you are not able to handle many flights of stairs that are difficult this is not the place for you.
