Advantages: A great traditional restaurant in the historical city of Evora Disadvantages: A little difficult to find.
The Alentejo has always been known for its traditional regional recipes and about twenty years ago when I first started visiting this dry, sunny region the area only had a handful of restaurants. Travellers nowadays can select restaurants with care and can expect a more gastronomic experience. Especially in Evora you will be spoilt for choice.
Fialho is a restaurant that is tucked away down a little side street off the Praca Joaquim Antonio de Aguar and can be difficult to find. While chefs in other restaurants in Evora are taking the Alentejan traditions in new, lighter directions, the Fialho still remains a shrine to traditional Alentjan cooking.
Sixty years ago this restaurant was a little diner where workers and families used to go to eat. Its owner, Manuel Fialho, has now passed on the traditions and his recipes to his sons ...

Advantages: History, World Heritage Site, gastronomy, authenticity Disadvantages: Distance from main tourism spots
built hotels.
Everything whose name begins with Hotel and Residencial means cheaper accommodation ? from around 40 euros to over 100 euros depending on the quality of the rooms. ?Residencial? don?t usually offer high quality accommodation and are usually rated no more than 3 stars. This reflects on the prices that shouldn?t go over 50 Euros per night.

If you wish to travel to Évora from Lisbon the bus service is fast (take the Expresso) but if you don?t want to rush to return it is better if you either rent-a-car or stay overnight and catch the bus back the next day. It should take you between 1.30-2hours to get to Évora from Lisbon by car.
If you are on holiday in the Algarve and decide to venture inland it is best if you drive. Although there are daily buses to ...
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 ...
