Found today's Pousada with no problem- because it was the castle up on the hill, of course! lol The castle of Estremoz was built in 1259 and is really elegant.
We walked into the lower town of Estremoz to look around, hoping to find the market, but we were too late, everyone was packing up. The problem was the weather was so hot and humid and you could only walk around for so long. Fortunately, there was a lot to see right in the Pousada area and so we didn't have far to go.
We were lucky to find a restaurant not far from the Pousada; most of the places we have stayed are in the old parts of town or are out of the way, and we didn't really want to be driving around much after dark- so we have eaten at the Pousada restaurants every night.
It was so pleasant to eat outside and the restaurant was outstanding. The people were very eager for us to try local specialties and really wanted us to have a nice evening- and we sure did!
