Évora Travel Guide Resources & Trip Planning Info by Rick Steves

"I encountered a chapel of bones tucked into Évora's whitewashed old town that contributes to the city's haunting, historic character; it feels like one of the spot's defining, slightly macabre attractions amid the broader 2,000-year cultural landscape." - RICKSTEVES
