Om
Raske fakta: Toetasjes handelshus med balkonger av håndsmidd jern står på rekke langs brosteinsbelagte gater og bevarer atmosfæren fra 1800-tallet. Det historiske området omfatter Falmouth tinghus, en hvit kalksteinskoloss som har stått urokkelig siden 1815.
Høydepunkter: De gamle butikkene har kalksteinsvegger opptil 60 centimeter tykke, designet for å holde engelsk vin kjølig i den tropiske varmen. På noen av takene finner man fortsatt originale leirfliser som ble importert fra England som ballast i seilskip.
Insidertips
- Flat shoes with thick soles are essential. The centuries-old cobblestone is slippery and uneven.
- The best photos come out in the golden hour of the afternoon when the low light highlights the details of the wrought iron.
- Avoid visiting on days when tourist ships arrive, usually Wednesday and Saturday, because the alleyways get crowded.
- Talk to the small shopkeepers on the main street. Many of them share stories about their grandparents who worked in those stores.
