Down almost every cobbled street, you'll find street art and colourful murals, adding another dimension to this otherwise rustic retreat. Climb high above the town and you'll find that the best artist around here is Mother Nature, providing views that stretch out beyond the rolling hills and down to Alte's waterfalls and natural pools.
