This town, with its impressive castle, invites us to wander through the streets lined with whitewashed houses and historical corners. Next, we’ll stop in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city, where you’ll have time to explore its medieval palaces, Gothic religious buildings, and ancient Roman temple.
