Évora

Évora is the capital of the Alentejo and has plenty of attractions, including a Roman temple, an impressive cathedral and a bone chapel. Besides sightseeing, the uniform whitewashed architecture with yellow trimmings makes Évora a delight for wandering - if sore pilgrim feet are up for it.

Pane e Vino is an excellent Italian restaurant in the city centre, while Salsa Verde is a popular vegetarian option for its buffet lunch and dinner.
