Evora – Rest Day<\/h3>\n
\n

Evora is an excellent spot for a rest day with a well contained fascinating medieval centre with lots to explore and enjoy. Unfortunately\u00a0 it is very windy today and raining cats and dogs or as the Portuguese might say, ‘chovendo cantaros’, but we managed to see a bit before the rain took over. But we did get to see some of the old town last night at sunset.<\/p>\n

Of course a beautiful sumptuous breakfast…note that the pastel da nata right up front!…I wolfed a few more of those down!! \"\" And the bread in Portugal is varied and all delicious!<\/p>\n

Inside the 14th-century walls, \u00c9vora\u2019s narrow, winding lanes lead to striking architectural works: an elaborate medieval cathedral and cloisters, the cinematic columns of the Templo Romano (near the intriguing Roman baths), and a picturesque town square – once the site of some rather gruesome episodes courtesy of the Inquisition. Aside from its historic and aesthetic virtues, \u00c9vora is also a lively university town, and its many attractive restaurants serve up hearty Alentejan cuisine.<\/p>\n
