Ugh
G
3:40Greg KretschmarHOST
... and we were in a medieval town called Évora.
G
3:43Greg KretschmarHOST
And I sent you guys the video, right? You saw the video I sent you?
S
3:47Scott McMullenHOST
Yes.
G
4:27Greg KretschmarHOST
No, dude.
G
4:28Greg KretschmarHOST
No. No. No. It's called The Bone Chapel.
G
4:33Greg KretschmarHOST
Okay? It's in Évora.
K
4:33Kayla WindsorHOST
Why didn't you do anything for him? That would've been nice.

We're going to take a 2,000-year journey.
S

Évora isn't meant to be seen from a bus.
S
0:28speaker_0NARRATOR
Évora is felt through its sloped streets, smelled in its whitewash and cork, and heard in the silence of its churches.
S
0:35speaker_0NARRATOR
Everything we are going to see is just a few minutes' walk from the next stop.
S
0:39speaker_0NARRATOR
It's a perfect loop with no impossible hills, designed to get lost without getting lost.

We'll certainly have a lot more to say with this or that as we make our way through our adventures in Portugal.
J

So please join us for two more episodes as we continue our journeys into Evora, Lisbon, Busaco, Milhada, and then finally ending in Porto.

F
22:50Fergal O'KeeffeGUEST
So I have a two-parter on that.
F
22:51Fergal O'KeeffeGUEST
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.
F
23:03Fergal O'KeeffeGUEST
So that's two-parter starting this week.

Fantastic.
The Catacombs - Pt 3
S
30:00speaker_7HOST
Moving over to the Chapel of Bones.
S
30:02speaker_7HOST
We are told it is one of the best known monuments in Évora, Portugal.
S
30:07speaker_7HOST
Just a great attraction, a chapel located right next to the entrance of the Church of Saint Francis.
S
30:14speaker_7HOST
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

0:09Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
0:19Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
0:30Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
0:38Inês CarvalhoHOST
You can see the remnants everywhere.
I
2:00Inês CarvalhoHOST
There is a heat protection measure in force until late September that closes the stalls early at 12:30.
I
2:06Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
2:15Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
2:24Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.

Last Day in Evora Harvest Light and Cork Country
Sep 9 · 7 Mentions
I
0:15Inês CarvalhoHOST
I am standing just outside the walls of the Centro Historico, watching the first tourists trickle in for the day.
I
0:21Inês CarvalhoHOST
Today is my last full day in Évora before I drive north toward Nazaré.
I
0:26Inês CarvalhoHOST
The air feels lighter than it did in August.
I
0:29Inês CarvalhoHOST
The scorch has finally broken, leaving behind that crisp, dry clarity that only arrives when the harvest season truly begins.
I
1:23Inês CarvalhoHOST
It is a strange and beautiful sight, seeing modern life woven into ancient stone.
I
1:29Inês CarvalhoHOST
I stopped for coffee at Persa Café Pastelaria, just off the main square.
I
1:34Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
1:44Inês CarvalhoHOST
It is a small comfort, but one that adds up when you are trying to stretch a budget while exploring.

Harvest Light and Cork Country Roads in Evora

2:27Inês CarvalhoHOST
They tell you that life here is affordable if you choose wisely.
I
2:33Inês CarvalhoHOST
After breakfast, I walk toward the Sé de Évora.
I
2:36Inês CarvalhoHOST
The cathedral rises above the rooftops, a fortress of faith built in the twelfth century.
I
2:42Inês CarvalhoHOST
I have climbed its roof before, but I go again today.
I
3:31Inês CarvalhoHOST
It is inside the Igreja de São Francisco, tucked away in a side street.
I
3:36Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
3:48Inês CarvalhoHOST
It reminds you that nothing lasts forever, not even the stone walls of Évora.
I
3:53Inês CarvalhoHOST
I stand in the silence, surrounded by the remains of thousands, and feel a strange peace.

Harvest Light and Cork Country Roads in Evora

0:14Inês CarvalhoHOST
I am sitting on the terrace of Persa Café Pastelaria, just off Praça do Giraldo, watching the city wake up slowly.
I
0:22Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
0:31Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
0:42Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
4:09Inês CarvalhoHOST
The Zambujeiro Dolmen nearby is similarly striking, and together they anchor the region's prehistoric significance.
I
4:17Inês CarvalhoHOST
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.
I
4:30Inês CarvalhoHOST
Back in the city, I headed to the Sé de Évora, the cathedral that dominates the skyline.
I
4:36Inês CarvalhoHOST
The Romanesque Gothic architecture is imposing, but the real reward is climbing the roof.

Morning Light on the Roman Temple and Cork Country Roads

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