...The historic city of Évora is located in the south of Portugal, in the region of Alto Alentejo. Évora has its origins in the Roman times and vestiges from that period can still be seen all over this beautiful walled town. In the Middle Ages, after many conflicts between Visigoths and the Moors, the city became an important centre for learning and the arts under Avis dynasty (1385-1580).
During Roman occupation Évora was called “Liberalitas Julia” and the most remarkable remaining of this era is the stunning “Temple of Diana”.
In 1986, UNESCO has recognized Évora’s international heritage value by declaring it a World Heritage City. This honoured title is in itself a promise to the visitor that the historic city of Évora has a lot to offer.
The region is predominantly agricultural and reminds me of Lincolnshire in the UK. Vast...

Advantages: Good price, authentic and charming. Great location. Disadvantages: Basic accommodation, communal bathrooms dodgy.
...A friend and I hit upon this hotel after asking for advice on cheap places to stay at the tourist information centre in Evora. We stayed here for 2 nights for very little money - about the same as a hostel. Bear in mind were visiting a little out of season (October) and it was raining, so I don't know what the hotel would be like in high season.
Finding the place on foot was a doddle - in a car was another matter as we got horribly lost in the one-way system (we should've just ignored it, the town is tiny and it was very quiet!) and ended up stuck down a very very narrow street. Beware. Anyway, I digress.
The hotel is in an excellent location within the walled city and close to the centre. It provided a fantastic base from which to really experience the old charm of this incredible World Heritage site city. The hotel even has...

...I was away on business to Perth in Scotland yet again so I decided to visit my favorite restaurant in the town Dos Amigos, this is as the name suggests a Mexican restaurant.
--------------The Setting--------------
Dos Amigos is located on George Street , which is near the River Tay and the Royal George hotel which I have also reviewed. Also in the area is Perth's art gallery and just nearing completion, due to open in September 2005, is the new Perth Concert hall, so I would imagine you can expect the restaurant to be very busy on the weekends.
I have never booked as I have always been eating there on a week night and so the restaurant is not that busy if you wish to make sure you have a table for the fine food then the number you need to call is 01738-444660.
There is no bar in the main restaurant area...
