Great job guys!!! Portugal is chock full of interesting places to visit. It matters little where you decide to go, the charm and surprises will be there to greet you.
Both your voices are very soft and soothing, which makes it extra easy to enjoy your video material. I really like the style you are using in describing a trip like this. Going to Portugal in about 6 weeks and Évora for sure is on my list now. Keep up the good work!
Been to Évora a couple times and really love it. Beyond the sites you visited, there are some great restaurants and places to stay and day trips one can take from Évora. For example, to the villages of Alvito and Mértola.
Thank you for making such informative, and entertaining videos. My wife and I are traveling to Portugal in April, and we will use your travels as a great resource.
I never even knew you could become a Templar. I thought it was one of those things you are born into. I haven’t watched the video in full - just browsing and came across. Look forward to seeing. My best friend had his wedding in Évora which sadly I could not go to.
Is Sete Rios train station in the same building as the Jardim Zoologico metro station? I'll be staying at hotel in Lisbon near Marquês de Pombal metro station and wondering how to get to Evora.
If you enjoyed the "vibe" in Evora, then Alcobaca will steal your soul. One point of correction, the bones came from graves outside the city walls because that's where the "non-believers" were buried. If the bones had belonged to monks, they would be consegrated corpses and a sin to exhume. Bill
It’s been a couple of years since I was there, but my recollection is that there was not enough space in the cemetery to bury more dead and some tragedy (in nearby Montemor?) suddenly created an urgent need to dispose of many bodies. Three monks had the idea of using bones to create the chapel, thereby solving their surplus-body problem and allowing them to create a visual representation of the illusory nature of life. The bones may have included those from a few monks, but there couldn’t possibly have been enough monks there for the whole chapel to be their bones.
Hey world travelers! Would you add Evora to your Portugal itinerary? Let us know in the comments below!
My favorite city in Portugal. A trip to a quiter time. A slower tempo
Exactly! Well put!

What a nice way to put it! It really doesn’t matter which city you go in Portugal. They were all lovely!

Portugal is such an interesting country and relatively affordable too. It gets our highest recommendation!
@@LucasWorldTravel that is great to hear, affordability is always top on our list when deciding where to travel.
Amazing job I love it thank you
I am going to go evora next week, so I need some information about there. even flavor restaurants :D I get help through your video. Thank you so much!
Nice! Glad the video was helpful! Enjoy Evora!
I love your travel videos ! What’s that piano music playing over the bones chapel ?
It’s called Book of Maps by Franz Gordon.
Planning to walk the Camino Nascente from Tavira, passes through Evora. Looks as if I will have to stay two nights.
Wow that quite the trek! Enjoy it and enjoy Evora!
I want to travel to Elvas first, then Evora, then Setubal then Lisbon over 10-12 days.
I also hope to see many of the places in this video.
Sounds interesting! We didn't make it to Elvas and Setubal but I'm sure they are beautiful. Enjoy!
Became a Templar in 1969 and would like to see the artifacts representing my brotherhood and pay allegiance to our Grandmaster.
Wow, how interesting! We would love to learn more about the Templars. We especially loved learning about them in Malta.
I never even knew you could become a Templar. I thought it was one of those things you are born into.

Beautiful and wait...were those real bones?
Yes, they were real. The bones of 5000 monks. Chilling!
Is Sete Rios train station in the same building as the Jardim Zoologico metro station? I'll be staying at hotel in Lisbon near Marquês de Pombal metro station and wondering how to get to Evora.
They are nearby one another, walkable. You would have to transfer from the metro to the train station.
Old stories say that Evora was home to a legendary witch.
Interesting! We can believe it!
Evora is a lesson of history and so arab
Yes indeed! 👍🏾
Os ossos não são de 5000 monges, são de pessoas do povo.
Evora was really boring for us. I didn’t need to spend more than a half day there.
Fair enough!

That’s the information that we got from inside the chapel so I think they would know.
Perhaps a bit of eclesiastic cleansing.
