Evora is the hottest city in Portugal, and we are so lucky we didn't visit in summer!
In this video we take a walk around this beautiful city and see:
Amazing Aqueduct

Hey Mandy and Lee, just another stellar video, thank you. Keep them coming please. Your videos save my marriage.
Mike, that's the loveliest compliment we've had in ages! We are super happy that you both enjoy our videos so much, and we hope that continues for a long time! ~ Mandy 😀😁
You explored the city quite well. Good overview, I like the white and yellow combination.
Thank you for your lovely comment, Nadelina. Isn't Évora a pretty city! The yellow and white buildings are stunning, especially on a hot, sunny day! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Very nice video about Évora. I remember that I didn't see the aqueduct when I went to the town. So, I have to get back. Cheers.
Thank you very much, Luis. It is always so lovely to hear from you. That aqueduct is amazing... if it wasn't so hot we would have loved to have followed it to the end, but the weather in May was scorching! ~ Mandy 😁😀
Hey Luis, how could you miss the aqueduct? Stop looking at the girls.
@@mikemurphy2112 You're incorrigible 😳🤣
I've watched a number of Évora videos in prep for an upcoming trip. This is my favorite. Your low key narration is great. The walks you take beyond the normal touristy destinations are interesting. Thank you.
@@brienmuller Thank you so much for sharing such lovely feedback, Brian. It's so wonderful when we hear that our videos appeal to others, as our way of travelling on a budget and exploring new places isn't quite the usual travel vlog style. We love just wandering around and seeing how people live in different places.
I've just realised we didn't actually have an Évora playlist set up, so have done that now... thank you for inspiring me to do so 🙏🤗 I'm not sure if you've seen these videos but I thought I'd attach the link just in case:
Evora PORTUGAL 🇵🇹: ruclips.net/p/PLCmNbKU5iMrnHoKopv20JlEPG8lYg_uWZ
Looking forward to your next video on Evora, I can hardly control myself.
So pleased to hear that, Mike. There's much more to see. 😁 Coming tomorrow morning. 👍 ~ Lee
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Évora is a lovely place and we had such a great time there! Thank you so much for your kind comment! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Looked a great fruggaling day out, spyd the T Lee 😎👍
Hahhha... such a great adverb... you do come out with some corkers, revolt7 😀😁🤣 Yep, Lee loves that tee shirt! I'm thinking he should add some more colours 😉 ~ Mandy
Another great video, can't wait to visit Evora.
Thank you, Clare. Évora is a lovely place, and we hope you have a great time there! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Strange to see Évora so calm, seems like such an civilized place without us students 😅 Great Video!
# Pereira, it's so lovely to hear the viewpoint from a student's perspective! I can't imagine it with you all there but I'm sure it would be a lot louder 😉🤣 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it! ~ Mandy 🙏😁
You both get up to so much fun on your adventures. I really enjoyed this video and learned a few things as well. Thank you for sharing your joy.
Thank you for such a lovely comment, Nelson. It's always wonderful to hear when people enjoy our adventures, and such positive feedback really helps keep us motivated and focused. It's excellent that you learnt a few new things as well, as we always aim to share practical information and prices. We really appreciate you taking the time to write, obrigada! ~ Mandy 🙏😁
I always look forward to videos by Mandy and Lee. One of the reasons is because I learn a lot given they both explain what we’re seeing. It’s always fascinating to see places thru the eyes of Mandy and Lee. Always appreciate your work and your appreciation of all the places you visit. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, lucchese20. You are always so supportive and write such lovely comments. This really helps us on those days when our laptops play up, or when editing the next video seems too difficult... so please be aware that comments like this mean a lot to us! Thank you! ~ Mandy 🙏😁😀
Been there twice but would like a bit more time to explore more. Lovely place. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Wow, that's so lovely that you've been there twice, Lesley. You're right, there's so much to see and do... we'd definitely return but maybe in cooler weather! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Yeah, l have always found that side of Portugal very hot. Same with Beja and Mertola and Castro Verde. Can't wait till l can visit Portugal again. Always love watching your journeys. ❤️. Have a great week.
@@lesleysmith8300 Thank you so much, and the same to you! ~ Mandy 😀
Loved this video of Evora. Awesome to walk that street alongside the aquaduct. Such a pretty town. And that meal, another one to add to the list. Thanks guys.
We're so pleased you enjoyed this video, Cindy! Évora is magical, if slightly pricey, so we were super happy to find that brilliant value restaurant! ~ Mandy 🥳😀😁
Lovely trip around town and I love it when you look at the food :)
We're so pleased you enjoyed the video, Steve! This restaurant was a brilliant find... I just wish we'd been able to go back, but we ran out of time! ~ Mandy 😁😀
Evora looks interesting. I'm so looking forward to seeing some of Portugal spring '23...working on my route. If you were doing a month, what are your suggestions for a route?
Hello Alice. That's a great question, and I'll think about it and get back to you sometime this week! Portugal is a beautiful country with so many amazing places to visit! ~ Mandy 😀😁
@@FrugalTravellers thanks Mandy... I love so many of the places you go to so finding it hard to condense, lol. I was going to do my 90 day allowance but now I'm thinking of doing 3 separate trips of roughly month each...
Lee, thank you for sharing the history of the stone aqueduct. It is unique that houses are built right between the pillars. Mandy crawled through the small arch with the camera, well done! The lunch buffet looks good and I like the price. Thank you for another informative and useful video! I shared your channel on my social media. This channel deserves 10K subscribers by 12/2022!
Hello Sue! It is always so lovely to hear from you, and to know that you watch our videos in such great depth, as you write excellent comments! That buffet was so tasty and was a brilliant find, as we found restaurants in Évora to be fairly pricey, so were really happy with this place!
Thank you so much for sharing our channel on your social media! This captures the attention of the algorithm, and will have our videos shown to a wider audience... and hopefully we'll reach 10k subscribers by December 2022!
We really appreciate your kindness and support, Sue, thank you! 🙏💕 ~ Mandy 😁😀
I really enjoyed this video, thanks. I got to say the doorways definitely have a moorish influence, the arches to the doorways are very symbolic of those you find in the Maghreb. Also I love the yellow and white exteriors of the buildings. It’s interesting to note this was an intentional design decision regarding the climate in terms of keeping the houses cool in the heat.
Hello Miss Mia, and thank you for your lovely comment! We are so happy you enjoyed this video, and that you paid such close attention to the details. We often wonder if anyone else will be interested in the things that catch our attention, so it's great to hear that you are also fascinated by such things! ~ Mandy 😁😀
I'm so jealous! Every video that you're making of Évora makes me want to leave all that I'm doing for now and go back to my peaceful site. I miss a lot everything, including that heat weather during summer and the terrible cold in winter. I suppose that Barragem do Alqueva has smoothened a bit the weather.
Hello Patricia! Thank you so much for your lovely comment... we're so happy that our Évora videos remind you of such happy times. There are 2 more to come, and then we'll be heading south! Évora is truly magical and we would love to return! ~ Mandy 😀😁🇵🇹
Another beautiful video! Loving the white and yellow painted exteriors. I’ve been meaning to ask if you make reservations at hostels and hotels as you travel, or if you just wing it when you’re not housesitting? Thanks!
Hello callmesteam! Thank you for the lovely compliment. Évora was certainly stunning with the preponderance of white and yellow buildings. As we like a bargain, we try to book a bit in advance, but were also stung with loads of bookings to cancel when covid first hit, so we now tend to book maybe 3-4 weeks in advance, especially in summer! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Bemvindo ao Alentejo😊 its very still... its because locals are tacking a nap😅 its to hot...
So hot, Paulo! It made for some nice quiet streets at midday 🤗😁
Keep it on.. chears
Thanks for letting us know how to pronounce Evora! I used to put the emphasis on the first syllable which is ofcourse incorrect. How lucky you are to have stumbled on the wine festival. We happened to do the same in Lucca and made friends with the sommelier who gave us more than our fair share of wines! Looking forward to your comments on the wines you tried. Thanks Mandy for checking out the free toilets! Can one walk along the aquaduct? or is it only from the other end? If we can make it out of Australia in 2023 it is either Portugal or Slovenia. We will probably spend a month in either country. If Portugal, we will either stick to the north or the south, not try to do both in one trip. BTW the music is integral to your channel - love it. Looking forward to your other videos on Evora. Did you visit nearby towns of Evoramonte, Monsaraz, Estremoz and Marvao. The gardens in Marvao kept coming up on my screen saver and I did not know where it was. It was so wonderful to find out, now I need to find out how to save the picture! While I was watching another channel's video on Obidos I could have sworn that both of you were caught in a clip. I tried to go back and stop the video but it would not allow me to inch along to see if it was Lee and yourself!
Hello Christine! It is always so lovely to hear from you, and to read your excellent comments! A couple of things... the accent should be on the first syllable! I left off the accent mark on the É for the sake of the RUclips search function, and have inadvertently mislead a whole community of budget travellers!
Secondly... we didn't end up going to the wine festival!!!! As we were still recovering from our two separate bugs, we didn't drink a drop of wine in Évora, which was such a shame, especially as the Alentejo is such an important wine region!
We only visited Évora, but would love to go back and visited the other places you mentioned. Finding a place by way of a screen saver is brilliant!
I'm not sure about walking along the aqueduct. I know you can walk along the one in Tomar, but I hadn't read anything about this one.
Your plans for 2023 sound excellent! I am biased towards Portugal, as I'm sure you'd have guessed, but Slovenia would also be a great option!
Wow... it would be so cool to think we popped up in someone else's Óbidos video! Does your history give any clues as to which video it might have been?
Thank you so much for always being so engaged and informative! We really appreciate your support and that you take the time to write such great comments! ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@FrugalTravellers No sorry I cant remember which one it was - it was a walking tour I thought Prowalks - but I generally fine them boring, so maybe 360Portugal?
Hello Team MandyLee!
It's sad to see many unwanted properties and left to degradation.
Unfortunately Évora isn't Lisbon or Porto, folks need & own a car for their transportation.
Potential buyers have no Interest in purchasing and renovating them buildings due to complications to park nearby. They are likely to fall apart 😢
Anyway thanks for the upload, have a lovely weekend 🤪
Thank you so much, SERGIO. It's always wonderful to hear from you! I hadn't thought of parking as a reason why some old buildings get left to fall to wrack and ruin, but it makes sense. We hope you have a lovely weekend as well! ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@FrugalTravellers Parking is indeed a major factor when either purchasing or renting property.
@@mikemurphy2112 I suppose it never occurs to us as we last owned a car in 2017... and even then we cycled everywhere in Perth. I can imagine that parking would be very difficult in those tiny streets in Évora's walled town! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Mandy and Lee, don't forget the people with mobility issues and the disabled. They need to be very close to the accommodations.
@@billypenney9384 Yes, indeed! Mobility issues are something that can occur at any time of life so parking is extremely important. ~ Mandy
Interesting video. Congratulations. You are a very nice couple. Now, on a different note. You use the Spanish word Siesta(an afternoon nap) but the Portuguese word is Sesta(without the letter I). Perhaps the Spanish word has made its way into English and now it is part of the English vocabulary. Anyway, perhaps you could start using the Portuguese word now? What do you think?
Thank you for the lovely compliment, Eduardo. I hadn't actually heard of the Portuguese word, "sesta"... I think Siesta has been fully integrated into the English vocab now, along with Bon voyage and Ciao. Thank you for pointing this out and I will use Sesta in any future Portugal videos! ~ Mandy 😀😁
@@FrugalTravellers 👌🙏
MEU DEUS, A PROFESSORA DE ESPANHOL NO FUNDO 🗣️🗣️
Love your channel but not a fan of the intro music :-) thank you for the tour!
Thank you so much for the compliment. Our theme tune has its fans and its detractors 😁 I changed my intros up for a while, then heard someone watching one of our videos... the theme tune caught my attention immediately and I hummed along with it 😀🤣 I hope you can still enjoy our channel, even if you skip the intro! Thank you for taking the time to comment! ~ Mandy 🙏😁
Hey either mute the volume or take your hearing aids out. I love the music and I'm sure many other do too.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." The music is lovely.
This is probably the most commented upon comment on any of my videos 😳😉 Please remember that everyone has the right to their opinion, and I know that many people find the theme tune to be a bit annoying... so let's all be friendly and helpful to one another, and share your frugal travel tips! ~ Mandy
ACTUALLY... what I should have said was, Dudes - it's only a theme tune! Thank you for sticking up for its honour but I stick up for The Oracle's right to like or dislike it, especially when a :-) is involved! Let's all be mellow and share this video with everyone you know 😉😁🙏 ~ Mandy
Top my College is in Évora
That's so lovely. Evora is a great place! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Why so dead this time of year? Especially at night? I thought Eora was a hot tourist spot now...
Hello Michael. Did you see the previous video, Évora First Impressions, as that showed the biggest crowds we'd experienced in Portugal. We tend to go back to our room early so miss out on the nightlife... but we certainly heard peoole coming home between 4 & 6am! ~ Mandy
Hi ist sesta not siesta have a nice day
Hello Cristina. Thank you for the correction... you're the second viewer to notice that! I will make sure we use sesta in future Portugal vlogs! 😀🇵🇹 We hope you have a lovely day as well! ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@FrugalTravellers thank you and sorry but is better to said rigth ennoy my country have a nices days here lo ve and wellcome
@@FrugalTravellers siesta is spanisch
@@cristinadias5145Siesta is one of the many words & phrases that has been adopted into the English language, such as Bon voyage and Ciao. Thank you for taking the time to comment, and we hope you have a lovely day! ~ Mandy 😀😁
why are you whispering? Seems hugely deserted and non-walkable. A city/museum but not livable. thanks for posting
Hello Kim. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm so interested in your questions: when were we whispering?; did you see the previous video with the hordes of tourists;? and maybe we should have shown all the people in the park, but we don't like videoing people without permission. It's very interesting to hear your take on our video and what it shows of Évora. There are 2 more videos to come that show it to be far busier! ~ Mandy
Beautiful video!
Thank you for your lovely comment, Manuel. We are so happy that you enjoyed this video! ~ Mandy 😁😀
