Summary:
We visited Estremoz with Joao. It has been a very pleasant and interesting walk. If not for him we would have left a lot of unvisited corners and history to know. Joao makes everything very enjoyable. We totally recommend to understand and enjoy the city.

Summary:
The tour guide took us around the new town and finished in the old town. I got an insight into the history of the city, its origins and the importance of Queen Isabella to its people. The highlight was a visit to a chapel at the castle which is usually closed to the public.
