I had the great fortune of visiting the Casa da Musica by OMA|Rem Koolhaas on a guided tour before the official opening, when the building was still largely empty. A few years later I was invited to give a lecture at a conference that was being held at the Casa da Musica. By that time a number of houses neighbouring the Casa da Musica had been demolished to make way for a large building, blocking the view from one of the windows overlooking the city.

More Portugal! Lisbon, Porto and the wonderful Praia da Ursa. The Algarve and Coimbra are still on my list.
