No matter when you choose to visit, it’s an explosion of colour: red-tiled roofs atop yellow-and-peach-toned buildings, with vibrant pink bougainvillea blooming on street corners and along terraces, contrasting the almost guaranteed azure sky (thanks to more than 300 days of sunshine per year). Safe to say, it’s gorgeous spring escape for those of us dealing with northern hemisphere gloom.
