We spent a week in Portugal during November. We enjoyed Villa nova de Geia where we went to many port Lodges and tried porto. Then we headed for the Duoro Valley where we went to Quinta's where they grow the grapes for the Port Wine. We had a lovely dew days at the Vintage House hotel where we did a bit of eating and port tasting, we even took a class - as if we did not know how to taste port???
We then headed to Lisbon where we celebrated Joe's birthday. We had a terrific time in Lisbon where the highlights included: going to a traditional Fado show, seeing a musical in Portugese, being part of the Fatima celebration where thousands of people chanted in the streets while holding lit candles, ate traditional food and saw all the wonderful sites of Lisbon!
On the way back to Spain we stopped in Evora and saw the Chapel of Bones?? Yes it was a chapel made up of 5000 skeletons?
