Set against a wide, sweeping bay, its impressive black-and-white chapels, churches, monasteries and museums overlook parks and gardens flecked with colour. Centuries of trade between Europe and the New World placed the port at the vanguard of transatlantic commerce. Today, ocean-going cruise ships line the quay, flying the flags of far-flung nations.
