Evora w/ wine tasting
Let's go
south!
Alentejo is an undiscovered region in the South of Portugal, with small villages lost in the middle of nowhere, fields with cattle and white-washed houses where you can feel the force of the land.
Évora
is the main city of the region but you'll feel just like in a small
village. In the historical centre you can visit the 11th century Cathedral, the roman monument, built 1900 years ago; the old
university and for the bravest there is another place, slightly
scary, that worths a visit: the bones chapel. The whole historical
centre was classified World Heritage by Unesco, and you'll find out
why.
For lunch just get inside one of the
many small "tascas" (small restaurants managed by the
owner, serving mostly traditional meals) and try the regional meals,
perfect for meat lovers. If you prefer something light, skip main
course and go straight to the desert, this cuisine is one of the
sweetest of the country.
If there's something this region is known for, apart from the food, is the wine. This way, to help us to get on the road, let's visita a small estate and finish the day with a wine tasting.
A different day, full of
the south's character.
