Évora: Experiência de Azeite — A day in Alentejo’s olive fields and UNESCO streets
A full‑day Cityrama outing from Lisbon that pairs a visit to a traditional Alentejo herdade and an extra‑virgin olive‑oil tasting with a guided walk of Évora’s UNESCO‑listed centre.
Évora: Experiência de Azeite — A day in Alentejo’s olive fields and UNESCO streets.
This full‑day excursion moves from Lisbon into the heart of the Alentejo to trace the story of regional olive oil and the layered history of Évora. Guests are collected at their Lisbon hotel, visit a prestigious herdade (such as Herdade do Esporão or a similar estate) to observe traditional olive‑oil production and taste extra‑virgin oils, enjoy free time for lunch, then take a guided walking tour of Évora’s cobbled historic centre — including the Roman Temple, the Sé Cathedral and the Capela dos Ossos — before returning to Lisbon.
