Alentejo Adventure Escape

Évora

The tour begins at the farm with a visit to the Classic Car Museum, where you can see Jaguars, Austin Healeys, Porsches, and even a Jeep that raced in the Paris-Dakar Rally.

Enjoy the peaceful farm atmosphere, meet the farm animals, and explore the vegetable garden.
We start hiking along the 16th-century aqueduct path on towards Évora, learning about cork, olives, and aromatic herbs along the way.
Upon arrival in Évora, follow Rua do Cano (“Pipe Street”) to see how the aqueduct stretches into the city center. Explore the narrow white streets of Évora’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed historical center, including a visit to the Bones Chapel, one of the city’s most unique landmarks, with entrance included.

A light lunch will be served at Casa da Avó (Granny's house), a local café by the market.
