A hello here is rarely a quick one. People ask after your family, your journey and your day first, and conversations gather around doorsteps, market corners and shared tables until a small group forms without a plan. Between the Atlantic coast, green highlands and dry southern plains, every region has its own way of bringing newcomers into the circle.
Seasons come as rainy and dry spells, with a semi-arid coast and south and cooler highlands, so mornings and evenings are often the best hours outside. A Local Friend introduces you to their own neighbourhood, and the street starts to feel like a place you belong.
