Bear with me here, but just imagine hand washing a pair of regular socks and hanging them on a line. 36 degrees and a breeze means they’re dry in an hour. Did I say it was hot????
Anyway, Estremoz is reputed to be well worth a trip, and we can confirm that – especially on a market day which adds a buzz to any town.
Castle/Palace was well worth it.
Apparently there is or was a plentiful supply of marble, which a lot of the town is built from.
And a wowee coffee machine (regrettably not working when we were there)
The Tile Museum
Not in the guidebook but we were alerted to it by a local woman to whom we got chatting over coffee. It’s the largest in Portugal and an interesting partnership between a large Portuguese wine producer and the local authority means there is a wine-tasting session as part of a visit. So here’s lots of pictures of tiles.
And that’s it for Evora and surrounds.
Here’s where we while away hot afternoons
and evenings
