Sunlight, particularly in the late afternoon, seems to pool in the hollows, softening the edges of the houses and casting long, languid shadows that stretch like sleepy cats across the gardens. The air, even on a warm day, carries a faint whisper of the nearby tropics, a gentle humidity that clings to the skin and lends a certain languor to the pace of life.
