Quick impressions: Tomar + Evora ( Portugal )

Quick impressions: Tomar + Evora ( Portugal )

I've lost count. It must have been my third or fourth trip to Portugal. So the trip had to cover the areas I had missed so far including Madeira, but also Tomar and Evora.

Below image is of Tomar

on top of the monastery

Tomar was a 2 hour train ride from Lisbon and then 2 hours back. It was raining like hell. Despite that I liked it quite a lot. The monastery, which in the photo you can see me standing on it's roof, was simply amazing and beautiful. Usually I get a bit bored with churches and stuff but this monastery was enormous. The town itself was sort of cute with a river passing thru it. Unfortunately the train schedule meant I had to rush back to the train station and I missed seeing the aqcuaduct that is 7 KM outside the town.

Below image is of Evora at night

To go to Evora after Tomar, meant I had to be stuck for some hours in the Oriente station in Lisbon and the surrounding area which includes a huge Mall. The Oriente station is the one designed by the architect Calatrava. To be honest, it looks better in pictures than in person. The problem is that these structures based on metal and glass get dirty very quick and unlike buildings made with stone that look equaly nice when dirty, these Calatrava stuff looks cheap when dirty. To make things worst it was raining and 200 meters away there were kids lining up for a Rammstein concert under the rain !!

Evora was a very nice surprise. It had way more to offer than I had expected. Probably due to careful and good zone and building planning, no annoying tall or horrible buildings have been allowed, keeping the towns original charm. The only week part of Evora is the walk from the train station to the town center.

Why Did God Create Badajoz? O Purre La Versione Spagnola di Perche Dio Ha Fatto La Calabria?

Why Did God Create Badajoz? O Purre La Versione Spagnola di Perche Dio Ha Fatto La Calabria?

Probably due to state propaganda during Franco's era, many Spaniards imagine Portugal as similar to Spain, just a bit poorer.

I was not there in the 70's to testify to it, but if true, they sure have caught up really fast and are much better than Spain in many ways. For example their unemployment rate is much lower than Spain. It is also interesting to see how some of the former Eastern Block countries have quickly improved in these years and again many of them surpassing Spain. This is the example of Slovenia. I met a guy from there and afterwards in half embarasment I went rushing to Wikipedia to read about the country I knew zip about. Well their GDP is waaay better than the one for Spain. This story all because I was in Evora Portugal and all was neat and the City was beautiful and tastefully maintained. Then 2 hours later I arrived to Badajoz Spain. Sorry, but what a dumpster of a town.
Two beautiful bridges and then the rest of the town are just ugly apartment buildings. Nothings left of the Alcazaba. It left me a very poor impression after coming from Evora which impressed me quite a lot. In Badajoz, I went to visit the town but because their bus station is located long ways away from the city center I arrived to the bus station at 4:05 to find out there are NO buses or trains after 4pm sharp to Madrid. What sort of third world country is this that a major town has no buses or train to it's capital city after 4pm?

Madeira Island : My visit - [ESP] Un viaje ideal y cercano: La Isla de MADEIRA

Dario is In Madeira Island - [ESP] Un viaje ideal y cercano

Un viaje recomendable para los Españoles es La Isla de Madeira que pertenecen a Portugal y estan al norte de las islas Canarias. Es un viaje que sale relativamente barrato si lo montas solo usando la aurolinea de bajo coste:

EASYJET . thumb

Hay que volar primero desde España a Lisboa y de alli coger un vuelo que usualmente sale por menos de 100 Euros a Funchal / Madeira. Tienes de todo: Mar, Historia, arquitectura, naturaleza y montaña.

Los edificios historicos estan para mi gusto mejor guardados que en Canarias y no hay de esos apartamentos feos que estropean la vista. Hay funiculares que suben las montañas y todo es bastanta verde con mucha vegetacion. Y temperatura templada incluso en Noviembre que es cuando yo fui.

Aqui os dejo unas fotos que tomé en Funchal:

funchal estatua

Finally arrived to Funchal. Very beautiful with lots of historical buildings and the place is very calm. Few people on the street, except for fans of Athletic de Bilbao that have come to watch a game here. The hotel has free WiFi and the room cost only 20 Euros !! You should see the beautiful view to the park!!!
