In case anyone is wondering, this video was filmed a few days before Portugal went into the national lockdown. Thanks for the support during the Algarve series 😁👍

[@tgilbertson747]

[@anaramos2802]

Alentejo is surely one of the cleanest regions in Portugal: people there are always painting their houses white, cleaning the houses, the streets...

[@diogorodrigues747]

Maybe... It's cleaner than the Lisbon region for sure (or the Algarve), but I think Northern and Central Portugal are also very clean places...

[@justlilygrace]

This is what I love about some places in Europe. Castles, and Fortifications. It is present but when you are on it, it turns you back in time.

[@meryuk]

Yeah, only in Europe. Just as some characteristic places only to be found in china or japan or elsewhere

[@ashok-lingaiah]

Oh Carol......😍😍 She only talks when you interact with her, rest d time she is so calm and silent..... nowadays it is rare to find a girl like Carol. Beautiful and decent couple.

[@gracietefreitas3073]

Monsaraz Castle has for me one of the best sunsets of all....

[@NomadShifu]

The Alentejo is the beautiful rural interior of Portugal, and is characterised by gently rolling hills, historic fortified towns and intense summer heat.

[@diogorodrigues747]

Intense summer heat... That's a right point - only the Coast is cooler, the other places are very hot in summer!

[@debramills8777]

What a beautiful country! And that perfect blue sky WOW😍😍

[@carlmason4153]

Hiya Debbs, thats why I moved here from Sheffield a few years ago, so much to see as well, but the weather is the main Pull

[@user-tf2xx8qm7g]

I remember that about Portugal, a church is white outside but inside is a burst of beautiful colors 🎨

[@MrTdacosta]

The holes in the floor of the tower were used for protection. In ancient times, during invasions, boiling oil would be poured through the holes on to anyone coming up the stairs trying to attack the people who were defending the fort.

[@guillaumebenj]

Portugal is beautiful. I’ve been to Alentejo several times already.

[@bobyonker3100]

Thanks for helping us to keep the Portugal vibe alive. We received our Visas and will be moving there next week. Be safe and thank you for sharing your journey.

[@TableMountainLiveStream]

Awesome tour with so much history. Full view my friend😍👍

[@duggio666]

Very cool old, fortified town. I love that it's atop a hill with beautiful vistas (on the first day anyhow).

[@piedaderudman6043]

Chris and Carol, I have been enjoying your videos. They're great! As you're going to Lisbon, please please do go to Sintra. I can assure you you will not regret. It is simply beautiful! There is a palace on top of the hill and a moors castle. Plus more palaces in the actual villa. It is a world heritage place. Enjoy! 😊👍

[@tgilbertson747]

Can't believe you guys are leaving Portugal !!!! Because of your vids I will be going for sure when the World opens up again and I don't have to wear a mask everywhere!! Thanks

[@mariolanca1118]

Ola boa tarde,obrigado por visitar o alentejo e Beja a cidade onde nasci,para a prxima tem que conhecer a costa alentejana,por agora boa viagem e um abraco desde a Holanda.Take care!

[@dznutz217]

Nice way to close out your Portugal trip. The countryside is gorgeous. Safe travels and see you both in your next destination. 😊

[@eva6009]

Thank you so much for your Portugal videos. They were the best and I will miss them so much. I will watch them again and again. See you wherever you go!✈🚅⛵🚲🚗🚕🚌🚄

[@stevefraser1409]

Wonderfully relaxing. Beautiful drone shots.

[@NickyDunn]

Brilliant, just caught this in my lunchbreak from homeschooling. Beautiful road trip. Full of green countryside. Brilliant drone shots. The Castle looks well kept. Great views from the top. Cool tunes. Great video. Another beautiful sunset. Excited about your new adventures. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.

[@jadziak6997]

Beautiful medieval town! Pristine, the town and the fortifications, like frozen in the past!!

[@samaustman4286]

A beautiful old town. I'll have to take a trip up there next winter. Thanks for the Portugal videos. They have been fun to watch.

[@threecampbells]

Such a beautiful area in the south, I could imagine how it looks in the north region. Great drone footage and I loved the castle and churches. The insides of the churches are where you find the art that is amazing. I loved the last building you went into and the fact it still had ancient artwork on the dome, it was a church even though they have it stamped fort, but then you were staying in a fort. I am glad you had a nice trip heading to your flight. just started to miss mom and dad but knew you had to go and plans were waiting. blessings my friends as god watches over you and keeps you in good health. Peace to my most coolest couple I have ever known, always in our hearts no matter where you are.

[@KevinColt]

Alentejo is by far the best region in Portugal to have a holidays house.

[@underwriter53]

Your drone shots are awesome! Can’t wait to follow you two more! 💕

[@cristygenovea2818]

Thanks for the historical tour! Love the view!

[@orlandonecesito4904]

The places you've been to are so quite, 'don't see any person roaming around, but the sceneries are really amazing. Very good for solitude and enjoying inner peace.

[@dri2726]

Wow congratulations! This was the most beautiful video and the most complete virtual tour I watched about these historic cities. thanks

[@EdCNJ]

Your Portugal series was really neat, we await to see your next journey, can’t wait!!! #jumpingplaces #portugal

[@armandoferreira8790]

Hi Carol & Chris Nice to see you in my home town Beja, my siblings still live there. I was born near the Santa Maria church. The castle was built by the moors but the tower was added later by the portuguese, it is the tallest castle tower in Portugal. If you saw a part of the tower's top that looked more modern is because a few years ago it collapsed and was rebuilt. Have a safe trip. Cheers.

[@ljlj8155]

❤️🇵🇹 Thank you guys for your fantastic videos and for your special care kindness about Portugal. I hope you come back and visit: Viana do Castelo, Guimaraes, The douro Valley, Braga, Porto of course, Coimbra, Nazare and the giant waves, the enchanted Óbidos, Ericeira and the surf 🏄‍♂️ spot, Sintra and kings Palaces, Mafra and Cascais G7, Tróia, Sesimbra and the beaches from Arrábida 😍, and of course the islands Azores where Picó and Faial and Flores are so so beatiful & the pearl of the Atlantic Madeira and Porto Santo. Take care guys!!

[@VictorPMarcos]

Great Video, thank's for sharing. You choose a nice place and you have much more historical villages like this one in Portugal.

[@ayem5746]

Another lovely video of your travels. Good luck for your future travel plans wherever you roam! Maybe bump into you again in Portimão in the future when life is easier for all of us. Keep safe 😊

[@marinaaceval1254]

Beautiful old city,and the viu on the top of the castle.I'm a litle sad that you're living Portugal.But see you in the next place.

[@diogorodrigues747]

Good video, as always! Only a few wrong points: - Beja is actually a very historic village. It was formed by the Conic celts and, some centuries later, it became a Roman city with the name "Pax Julia" (the today's name Beja became from "Pax" or "Pace"). Actually it's not that of a "elder city", it's actually one of the youngest cities of Alentejo, with a below-24 population of around 25% (the average rate in the region is around 10% or even under that). More young than that in the region only in Mora or Campo Maior. This was filmed on a Monday? That seems so... I say that because most restaurants in Beja close on Sundays and Mondays at lunch... 11:07 No, that's actually not a bridge to unite Portugal with Spain. Right there is another Portuguese municipality called Mourão (and I recommend a visit to Mourão: it's also an historic border village with a castle (I think it has been on construction in the last months), a well preserved village centre where Portuguese people still live there (in Monsaraz that's not the case anymore) and a beautiful garder right next to the City Council. Ah, and it has also a very good restaurant, well known by food and culture lovers for years. Ah, another interesting fact: right next to the border you mention, there is one of the most controversial areas of the Raia: the Olivenza territory. It's a dispute area between Portugal and Spain, but it's a very pacific dispute, so you can visit Olivenza for sure (and it's a very Portuguese city with a beautiful city centre, by the way...). 24:24 That "river lake think" it's the largest reservoir in Western Europe and it's called "Barragem do Alqueva" (the Alqueva dam). The river is called Guadiana and it's one of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula. When you were in Castro Marim, do you remember seing a bridge over a river and, right next to the river, seing a village (Ayamonte)? So, that's the same river as you are seing in Monsaraz... Well, thanks to all this work done! It's a shame that the pandemic has cancelled all our dreams, but this will all pass and, in the next year, COVID would be a thing of the past for sure... 😁

[@timothypugh2429]

Diogo, thanks for your observations, they add great context and clarity.

The precision engineering, the 'perfect circle' tower/spiral stairway...everything constructed precisely to the millimeter. And all for military purposes...such is humanity...... 8:46-> Stop! Museo da Vinha! ..the sign!...the wooden wine casks! Aberto(open!) Wine tasting/local cuisine/coffee/dessert.....oh no.....missed it.... 11:35-> Cannon balls...real antique cannon balls as parking indicators...nice touch..... 12:26-> Carol..camera strap over the shoulders...camera won't be dropped/stolen(grab 'n run)/lost etc....

Wow, beautiful scenery aerial shot of the Algave. Thanks for the visit. That small town looks like from a movie Song of Bernadette

[@diogorodrigues747]

Actually it's not Algarve, it's Alentejo, and sometimes saying that Alentejanos are Algarvians it's considered an insult... (in fact, these are two very different region and there is actually more in common between a person from Porto and another from Ourense than a person from Tavira and another from Mértola).

[@LuisMiguel-fy5vq]

on a next time, come to Évora, the biggest and historical city of Alentejo

"It's to a castle I will take you , where what's to be, they say will be..."

[@slanwar]

The castle in Algarve I believe was built by the moors that’s why looked different.

[@diogorodrigues747]

Lots of castles in Alentejo were also build by the moors...

[@slanwar]

@@diogorodrigues747 Most of the castles were built on top of other building like for example Obidos castle, built by the moors on top of a Roman fortified building, Alentejo has a few medieval castles and Monsaraz is a big example. The Moors built castles by the coast mostly to protect invaders (vikings, pirates), the Portuguese built by the border with Spain and rebuilt what’s left by the moors after the “re-conquista”.

[@dagobb]

The way your girl pronounces “Alentejo” /“estalagem de monsaraz” makes me think she is “brasileira”. By the way, I just got to know your channel and I'm really enjoying your series in Portugal.
