What you can expect

On this tour, we propose to enter a time machine and travel a few centuries back. We propose to visit a deeper Portugal with magnificent vineyards, trigais, wettrees, olive trees and lots, lots of history.
And we start way back in the history since the first stop is the old city of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. Surrounded by 14th-century walls, it encompasses traces of the Roman, Visigothic, Muslim and Portuguese presence inside. In Évora history is just around any corner, in any square or alley, staircase or door and for this reason the ideal strategy is to walk through its historic centre and contemplate the various monuments that make up this fantastic puzzle with more than 1000 years of history.
We propose to begin the walking tour with a visit to the majestic Church of St. Francis, one of the most beautiful examples of national Gothic and with important episodes for the history of Portugal. Next door, and also part of the former Convent of San Francisco is one of the local must sees, the Chapel of Bones, a place that has a strong symbolic and artistic component.
Next, stroll around the most dynamic arteries of the city, such as Praça do Giraldo and Rua 5 de Outubro, heading to the medieval heart of Évora. There you will find the Cathedral (the largest in Portugal) but also the Roman Temple, one of the oldest testimonials of the Roman presence in the Iberian Peninsula.
The last stop is at the medieval town of Arraiolos, famous for the carpets, for the production of olive oil and chicken patties. We propose a visit to CITA, where you will learn more about the local carpets. There will also be local products tasting with olive oil, wine and the best chicken patties in the world. A stop at the medieval castle is also included to enjoy.
