Ugh
Greg KretschmarHOST

... and we were in a medieval town called Évora.
Greg KretschmarHOST
3:43
And I sent you guys the video, right? You saw the video I sent you?
Scott McMullenHOST
3:47
Yes.
Greg KretschmarHOST
4:27
No, dude.
Greg KretschmarHOST
4:28
No. No. No. It's called The Bone Chapel.
Greg KretschmarHOST

Okay? It's in Évora.
Kayla WindsorHOST

Évora isn't meant to be seen from a bus.
speaker_0NARRATOR
0:28
Évora is felt through its sloped streets, smelled in its whitewash and cork, and heard in the silence of its churches.
speaker_0NARRATOR
0:35
Everything we are going to see is just a few minutes' walk from the next stop.
speaker_0NARRATOR
0:39
It's a perfect loop with no impossible hills, designed to get lost without getting lost.
Jill BohaboyHOST
37:08
We'll certainly have a lot more to say with this or that as we make our way through our adventures in Portugal.
Jill BohaboyHOST
37:14
So please join us for two more episodes as we continue our journeys into Evora, Lisbon, Busaco, Milhada, and then finally ending in Porto.
Jill BohaboyHOST
37:27

Fergal O'KeeffeGUEST
22:50
So I have a two-parter on that.
Fergal O'KeeffeGUEST
22:51
This week is talking about Évora and the inland region, and next week is about the famous fisherman trails and the coastal walks aro- aro- above the Algarve, um, in, uh, uh, Alentejo.
Fergal O'KeeffeGUEST
23:03
So that's two-parter starting this week.
Alan MorrisseyHOST
23:05
Fantastic.
speaker_7HOST
30:00
Moving over to the Chapel of Bones.
speaker_7HOST
30:02
We are told it is one of the best known monuments in Évora, Portugal.
speaker_7HOST
30:07
Just a great attraction, a chapel located right next to the entrance of the Church of Saint Francis.
speaker_7HOST
30:14
How did the Chapel of Bones get its name? Well, it gets its name because the interior walls are covered and decorated with human skulls and bones, of course, and a great place to spend your Saturday.

Estremoz Day Five Marble Dust and Bone Chapel

0:09
It is not the humid weight of the coast, but a clear, baking warmth that settles into the white marble streets as soon as the sun crests the castle walls.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:19
I am on day five now, settled into this hilltop town, and the rhythm of life here feels different from the frantic energy of Évora or the coastal bustle I left behind.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:30
The Festas da Cidade de Estremoz wrapped up just last week, and while the main celebrations are over, the town is still catching its breath.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:38
You can see the remnants everywhere.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:00
There is a heat protection measure in force until late September that closes the stalls early at 12:30.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:06
The dismantling happens between 12:30 and 15:00, so if you want to buy cheese or charcuterie, you have to be there in the morning.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:15
I miss the peak hours, but I still manage to pick up a loaf of Pão Alentejano for around €1.50 and a small wedge of Queijo de Évora.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:24
The total was about €15 for a meal that would feed me for two days, which is a stark contrast to the prices you see in Lisbon.

I am standing just outside the walls of the Centro Historico, watching the first tourists trickle in for the day.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:21
Today is my last full day in Évora before I drive north toward Nazaré.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:26
The air feels lighter than it did in August.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:29
The scorch has finally broken, leaving behind that crisp, dry clarity that only arrives when the harvest season truly begins.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
1:23
It is a strange and beautiful sight, seeing modern life woven into ancient stone.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
1:29
I stopped for coffee at Persa Café Pastelaria, just off the main square.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
1:34
A cappuccino costs around €2.50 here, which is about the same as Lisbon, though the overall cost of living in Évora is roughly 8% cheaper.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
1:44
It is a small comfort, but one that adds up when you are trying to stretch a budget while exploring.

2:27
They tell you that life here is affordable if you choose wisely.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:33
After breakfast, I walk toward the Sé de Évora.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:36
The cathedral rises above the rooftops, a fortress of faith built in the twelfth century.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:42
I have climbed its roof before, but I go again today.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
3:31
It is inside the Igreja de São Francisco, tucked away in a side street.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
3:36
The inscription above the door reads, "Nós ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos." "We bones that are here await yours." It is macabre, yes, but also deeply human.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
3:48
It reminds you that nothing lasts forever, not even the stone walls of Évora.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
3:53
I stand in the silence, surrounded by the remains of thousands, and feel a strange peace.

I am sitting on the terrace of Persa Café Pastelaria, just off Praça do Giraldo, watching the city wake up slowly.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:22
It is September seventh, day seven of my nine-day stay here in Évora, and the air smells faintly of dust and dried earth from the surrounding plains.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:31
You can feel the shift in the atmosphere, a subtle change that tells you the long, scorching days of peak tourist season are finally giving way to something more honest, more local.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
0:42
I want to talk to you about what it actually costs to live and travel here because numbers matter when you are planning a move or a long stay.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:09
The Zambujeiro Dolmen nearby is similarly striking, and together they anchor the region's prehistoric significance.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:17
If you are driving, the new IP2 ring road has helped reduce traffic in the historic center, making the outskirts more accessible, though you still need to be careful of wildlife crossing the roads at dawn and dusk.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:30
Back in the city, I headed to the Sé de Évora, the cathedral that dominates the skyline.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:36
The Romanesque Gothic architecture is imposing, but the real reward is climbing the roof.

Inês CarvalhoHOST
2:56
My destination today is the Cromeleque dos Almendres.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
3:00
It is about 15 kilometers west of Évora, a Neolithic stone circle that predates Stonehenge.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
3:07
I've been here before, but it never gets old.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
3:10
The site is free to enter, and it is often empty, which allows for a kind of solitude that is hard to find in tourist-heavy places.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:03
It is a fair price for the experience.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:05
The wines are bold, full-bodied, made from grapes that thrive in this hot, dry climate.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:13
Back in Évora, I wander into the Mercado Municipal.
Inês CarvalhoHOST
4:16
It is a great place to see what locals buy.
