After the Christian reconquest in the 12th century, the Arab civilization that lived here was moved to another hill, giving rise to the Mouraria district. Discovering Alfama is immersing yourself in the authenticity of being Portuguese. Fado, Portugal\u2019s most typical and charismatic music, was born in this neighborhood, embodying the unique melancholy known as \"saudade.\"<\/p>\n<p>Next, we will reach the <strong>S\u00e3o Jorge Castle<\/strong>, one of the few remaining physical vestiges of Arab civilization in Portugal.

We will also visit the birthplace of Saint Anthony, the patron saint of matchmaking, who was of Portuguese origin.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Baixa de Lisboa<\/strong>, the area most devastated by the great earthquake of 1755, we\u2019ll take time to understand the importance of Pombaline architecture. After the earthquake, buildings were reconstructed in a completely different manner, with wide streets and squares, and anti-seismic construction was employed, foreseeing future tremors. The Marqu\u00eas de Pombal, a statesman, was responsible for the reconstruction of Lisbon and the social and economic changes that followed.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>Marqu\u00eas de Pombal Square<\/strong>, we will stop near <strong>Eduardo VII Park<\/strong> and reflect on the treaties between Portugal and England and their significance for Brazil's future.

This area was home to the old shipyards and docks of Lisbon, from which brave Portuguese explorers set sail in the 15th century, discovering sea routes to India, Africa, and Brazil. Celebrating this glorious past, we will visit three important monuments: the <strong>Bel\u00e9m Tower<\/strong>, the <strong>Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery<\/strong>, and the <strong>Monument to the Discoveries<\/strong>.

Interestingly, <strong>Dom Pedro IV of Portugal<\/strong>, who was simultaneously <strong>Dom Pedro I of Brazil<\/strong>, was born and died in this palace.<br \/>The rococo style of the palace is highlighted in its fantastic gardens, disguised by a sequence of terraces and Tuscan-columned galleries, topped by a monumental staircase. Strong decorative elements include statuary clearly inspired by classical mythology, and the geometric beauty of the boxwood hedges blends with the colorful tiles, stone, and bronze statues.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we will enjoy the <strong>Sintra town center<\/strong>, with its narrow streets and numerous Portuguese craft shops. Don't miss the famous <strong>Travesseiros de Sintra<\/strong> pastries at <strong>Piriquita Bakery<\/strong>.<br \/>Sintra is a location rich in historical monuments and fascinating tourist attractions. It boasts over 10 national monuments, including opulent palaces, ancient ruins, and decorative palatial homes scattered across the region\u2019s hills. Your guide will help you decide which palace to visit (we recommend a maximum of two), with options including the <strong>Pena Palace<\/strong>, <strong>Monserrate Palace<\/strong>, and <strong>Quinta da Regaleira<\/strong> (with its initiation well).

You\u2019ll have free time to explore this small village, which attracts thousands of visitors each year.<br \/>Between the bay of Cascais and the Sintra mountains, Cascais became the summer retreat of the Portuguese royal family in the 19th century, drawing the entire nobility. In <strong>Largo de Cam\u00f5es<\/strong>, the village\u2019s historic center, you\u2019ll find many shops and restaurants. <strong>Estoril<\/strong>, famous for espionage during World War II and as the home of Ian Fleming, the renowned author behind the James Bond series, is also home to impressive properties and the <strong>Estoril Casino<\/strong>, considered the largest in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tours.com.pt\/en\/hotel-suggestions-in-lisbon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>\ud83d\udecc \u2013 Overnight in Lisbon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>"},{"title":"Day 6: \u00c9vora Tour","content":"<p><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15822 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/tours.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/capela-dos-ossos-entrada-300x167-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the last day of our six-day tour of Portugal, we will visit <strong>\u00c9vora<\/strong>, starting with a visit to a traditional cork factory where we will learn about the entire process, from the cork oak tree to the final product.<br \/>Did you know that cork bark regenerates every year and is harvested every nine years, reaching a thickness of up to 25 cm? Cork is highly resistant to heat, cold, and fire. After removal, the tree regenerates, and Portugal is responsible for 55% of the world's cork production. Today, cork is valued for decorative wall and floor coverings, sports items, and even baseball cores and fishing rod handles.<br \/>In many countries, cork is best known as the raw material for wine bottle stoppers, as it allows micro-portions of oxygen to interact with the wine, enabling it to age while preserving its quality.<\/p>\n<p>We will then explore <strong>\u00c9vora<\/strong>, a beautiful medieval town that attracts thousands of visitors each year. The <strong>Chapel of Bones<\/strong> is particularly captivating, with its walls and pillars covered with human bones and skulls\u2014estimated to belong to over 5,000 monks. Don\u2019t be alarmed by the entrance sign, \"We bones that are here await yours,\" as it is a poignant reminder of life\u2019s fragility.<br \/>Another significant monument is the <strong>Temple of Diana<\/strong>, a testament to the Romans' reverence for this city, located near the <strong>\u00c9vora Cathedral<\/strong>, which dates back to the Roman period. From here, we can see the magnificent <strong>\u00c1gua da Prata Aqueduct<\/strong>, built in the 16th century to ensure water supply to the city.<br \/>\u00c9vora was also home to Arabs in the 11th and 12th centuries, who built its streets and alleys, and later became a residence for Portuguese kings. It was a convergence point for renowned artists, supported by Portugal\u2019s reigning dynasties.<\/p>\n<p>During our six-day tour, we also have the option to visit a <strong>winery<\/strong> in <strong>Alentejo<\/strong>, where we\u2019ll enjoy a personalized visit to a wine cellar and learn about the winemaking process, from grape reception to bottling, followed by wine tasting.<br \/>Alentejo produces unique wines thanks to its hot, dry climate. Vineyards rely on drip irrigation, and the region\u2019s sunny climate ensures the perfect ripening of grapes. Alentejo\u2019s wines are known for their soft, slightly acidic whites with tropical fruit aromas and their rich, full-bodied reds with wild berry and red fruit aromas.<\/p>"}],"faqs":[{"title":"How can I book a tour?","content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Booking is simple!
