Itinerary
The Algarve offers the visitor not only magnificent beaches but also a land where the Moorish influences are evident in the architecture, tradition and legends. This brightly colored region, with its fig trees, orange groves and almond trees, is also the place where, five centuries ago, Prince Henry set up a school of navigation which played a crucial role in the Portuguese Discoveries. In this tour you will experience quite a blend of cultures which you will never forget.
Today we will have one day time discovering the town of Evora. We will cross the bridge over the river Tejo till we arrive at Evora. In the narrow streets of the whitewashed town, we will walk along the time visiting some of the most important monuments: the Roman Temple, the Romanesque-gothic Cathedral, Saint Francis Church with the "Bones Chapel" and the University. At the market we will see and feel the richness of product used to prepare one of the most elaborated and appreciated gastronomies of Portugal. Along the visit we will also admire the diversity and authenticity of local handicraft with cork, ceramic and copper objects. Then we will have a lunch. In the afternoon, we will have free time for a better discover of the city. Overnight in Evora.
