Itinerary

1. Commencing our journey, we embarked on an immersive encounter at the Ervideira Wines' boutique, an ode to the finest offerings from their production. This distinctive experience promises a curated assortment of Ervideira wines, presenting a delightful odyssey through whites, rosés, and reds. Each wine will be harmoniously accompanied by a delectable selection of regional delights. Among these culinary treasures are Alentejo's rustic bread, artisanal sheep's cheese, an array of flavorsome black pork sausages, traditional aromatic jam, accompanied by the richness of olive oil, and Alentejo-style toasts enhanced with the essence of olive oil and oregano. Anticipated to span approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, this remarkable journey comes at a cost of €10 per person, an investment in a sensory tapestry of flavors and culture.

2. Unmatched in the entirety of Portugal, the Cathedral of Évora holds the distinction of being the largest medieval cathedral in the country. Dominating the city's skyline from its elevated position, the Cathedral of Évora oversees the urban expanse below. This vantage point also serves as the chosen site for other significant landmarks in Évora, including the iconic Roman Temple of Évora (also known as the Temple of Diana), the Évora Museum, and the Eugénio de Almeida Art and Culture Center.

3. The Roman Temple located in Évora stands as one of the most magnificent and impeccably conserved Roman temples throughout the entirety of the Iberian Peninsula. Acknowledged by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1986, it holds a significant place in history. Often regarded as the city's emblem, this temple serves as a prominent symbol and a must-see attraction, rivaling even the famed Chapel of Bones in terms of recognition.

4. The Chapel of Bones, known as Capela dos Ossos, presents a strikingly macabre commemoration of death and stands out as one of Évora's most captivating tourist destinations. Nestled within the confines of the São Francisco Gothic church, the Chapel of Bones lives up to its evocative name. It's estimated that the chapel is adorned with an excess of 5,000 skulls, many of which were unearthed from various monastic graveyards in the vicinity. Evidently, the expansion of these cemeteries became a spatial concern, leading to the concept of consolidating the bones within a single consecrated space. This initiative gained momentum when a 16th-century monk recognized an opportunity to convey the profound message of mortality and the fleeting nature of our existence.

About Lisbon

Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.

The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
