Av Tulio Espanca, Apartado 93 Évora, Alentejo, Portugal, 7002-502, 351-266-748-800
... the hilarity of Spainish and Portugese bathrooms. They are a source of amusement on this trip. In our hotel room in Evora our bathroom consisted of a sink, a basin on the floor and a shower head. That is correct, there was no toilet and to take a shower you shut the bathroom door and let the water spray everywhere while you stand in the tiny basin. The next most amusing bathroom was in Albufeira, Portugal. First, the shower had windows that you could open to ...
Évora, Alentejo, Portugal swints... working the counter tried to call us a taxi with no luck, kept saying nata, nata which was a bit frustrating. Finally after 30 min. of trying to communicate with them we walk into town and knock on one of the taxi driver´s doors, said he would drive us back to Beja! So crisis avoided, we made it back 4 hours after we intended and had a cook-up with Alex and Jason...who were smart enough to take the early bus!!!
Évora, Alentejo, Portugal ckulenguski... celebrated both their Christian and Muslim heritage from that time, and it was realistic in nearly every aspect. We actually felt like we had gone back in time at some points! When we tired of shishkebabs, belly dancing, sangria, and swords, we found our way back to our quaint little room and had a good night's sleep. We now report to you from a cafe situated in a 15th century cathedral's gardens in Evora, Portugal. After arriving at our camp site and a ...
Évora, Alentejo, Portugal ryanandpatti... and they show movies on the trips too. but tonight marks my last night here in portugal. i've been roped into doing the pubcrawl at the hostel tonight, so yet another interesting flight lies ahead. speaking of which, the air traffic controller's strike has apparently been called off! (i'm actually kinda disappointed about that).
Évora, Alentejo, Portugal domhnall... Shopping down the Rue 5 de Outubro was next on our list and a few items made of cork found their way into our bag. The bonus here is that this should not put us over our weight limit on the plane!! Lunch was next and we found a small typical Alentejo style restaurant. We had wine out of the HUGE wine vats - you will see in the photo - and then we had a very different Tomato Soup with Pork Sausage on the side and then a plate of Wild 'Peeeeeeg' with salad ...
Évora, Portugal jimstephkrueger... that the bus is leaving from the terminal that I am in front of. Hmm.. No bus, I go back inside the station (the doors in are outside the bus terminal I'm at, so I feel safe doing so) and look at the departure/arrivals board. My bus isn't even listed. What the?? I find some other people looking at their ticket, at the terminal number sign, back at the ticket. I start to feel a little better. I end up talking to this woman from ...
Évora, Portugal kasia-waw... otherwise. By the time we had dropped off our things at our hotel room and I made my way back to the restaurant, it was closed, and I narrowly avoided years of therapy. Despite this, I will always be haunted by missing another opportunity to have the best grilled chicken in the world. Jeannie here. Let me just add that Evora is a charming city. We saw beautiful churches, lovely squares, landscaped parks, and Roman ruins. We ...
Evora, Portugal seanandjeannie... verdad que lo pense. La primera noche lo encontre hablando solo con la luz prendida, pense que estaba rezando (aun no pensaba que era el rezo antes de autoinmolarce), el tenia un olor espantoso, pocas veces he olido algo peor. Al dia siguiente lo encontre en el desayuno hablando solo, y peleando consigo mismo...mmm...eso no se veia bien. Ademas tenia una maleta muy sospechosa, el se vestia casi que en arapos...mmm....la noche siguiente me desperte como a las 3am con un fuerte ...
Evora, Portugal maibanerThe highlight of this place was our dinner of chicken, chips and salad (and beers!!) for two people for only 7.50 Euro - we love finding a tasty bargain. Evora is UNESCO listed, a medieval walled city, with the oldest Synagogue- horrible to think of the persecution the Jews suffered during the time of the crusades. Another place of interest ...
Evora, Portugal christian-roHow can it be so hard to find the massive Ponte 25 de Abril bridge over the Tagus river??? We could see it, but It took us almost an hour of driving around Lisbon to find the entry to the bridge and A2 Sul. To add insult, it was a toll bridge. It was May 30 and we were headed for Evora. The drive wasn't anything to write home about--it was hot, silly sunny and hazy. We enjoyed the fresh air, the breeze and seeing the cork oaks dotting the landscape. Arriving ...
