But Evora also has many cafes and small restaurants and pubs that invite you to linger. But the same applies here: it is best not to drive into the inner city, …

Yes, today was a Portuguese national holiday. Most of the shops in the city were closed. The Café Pao de Rala was also closed, with a coffee house atmosphere with blue and white tiles, which Geotoura says is really cozy. But the many sights made us forget the little mishap. As we criss-crossed the city, we liked the Templo Romano, …

Evora has many interesting sights, such as the castle-like granite cathedral of Santa Maria, the Roman temple, the church of São Francisco with the Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos). There are also some lovely souvenir shops, with lots of cork work, in Rua 5 De Outubro. Numerous restaurants offer very good Portuguese cuisine.
