Rute

1. Almourol Castle is located in the parish of Praia do Ribatejo, municipality of Vila Nova da Barquinha, district of Santarém, in Portugal, although its location is often attributed to Tancos, as it is the closest town and from where it can be seen best. . Built on a granite outcrop 18 meters above water level, on a small island 310 meters long and 75 meters wide, in the middle course of the Tagus River, slightly below its confluence with the Zêzere River, at the time of the Reconquista it was part of the so-called Tagus Line, currently the Templar Tourism Region. It constitutes one of the most representative examples of military architecture of the time, simultaneously evoking the beginnings of the kingdom of Portugal and the Order of the Templars, an association that reinforces its aura of mystery and romanticism. With the extinction of the Order of the Temple, the castle of Almourol became part of the heritage of the Order of Christ (which was the successor in Portugal to the Order of the Templars).

About Lisboa

Lisboa renner ned åsene mot Tejos munning, en by med fliseklede fasader, rasslende gule trikker, utsiktspunkter og sene, rolige middager.

De gamle bydelene rommer det meste av sjarmen. Alfamas floke av smug klatrer opp mot Castelo de São Jorge og ekkoer av fado om kvelden, Baixas ryddige rutenett løper ned til det enorme Praça do Comércio ved elven, og Bairro Alto og Chiado blander bokhandler og kaféer om dagen med barer om natten. Utsiktspunkter som Santa Luzia og Senhora do Monte rammer inn røde tak og skinnende vann.
