Evora is the biggest region of Portugal. Their main source of income is from agriculture and tourism. Nowadays it is a prosper university city whose historical centre was classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1986. The major part of the city is surrounded by a wall. There are 40 churches within this wall. Their is an aqueduct which was 16Km long built in the 16th century. Now the remains within the city wall is a monument and there are areas that have been kept that surround walls of private homes. There are 50,000 people in Evora with 5,000 living within the wall.
After brekky we met our tour guide Jorge for a walking tour in Evora seeing two completely different churches, temple and listening to amazing history dating back to the Moorish and Romans. We visited the Bone Chapel the only one in the world which houses over 5,000 people's bones up to & including the 17th century. There were too many grave yards so this chapel was erected,180 sq metres in size and the grave yards were turned into private land.
We had a winery tour in the afternoon which was an hours drive. Unfortunately we were late as we went to the wrong place -Monsaraz and not the winery - in Reguengos de Monsaraz! We joined the tour then had wine, olive oil and local cheese and meat tastings.
