    Piss sauna. 15 years down the road and I still chuckle at 'piss sauna'.

    In fairness, my recollection of Munich is similar

    Buy sardines from the withered old men with buckets of charcoal. Sit on the floor outside one of the bars in Barrio Alto and scoff them with some oaky Portuguese white.

    Why would I sit on the floor?

    They're very nice, but they're just custard tarts at the end of the day.

    Oooh, Caipirinhas? I remember getting quite hammered on those at a churrasco in Austin.

    100 degree heat, hard liquor and a massive load of meat. What could possibly have gone wrong?

    That's the ones. They sent me the same way. They were so sweet you could barely taste the alcohol after a few of them. Din't help that they served them almost by the litre. Dangerous stuff.

    There are many spiks and few (if any) seats. But it’s quite romantic, really. Old man playing guitar, even older men cooking sardinhas, everyone else sitting around drinking & eating. Wd Portugueses.

    You can find some steps to sit on if the floor is too demeaning.
