Our best meal by far, in terms of food and character was at Restaurant Taberna Tipica Quarta-Feira in Evora, Portugal. There's no menu, instead the owner and chef Ze cooks one meal each evening and he and his son serve it with such hospitality that they make you feel as if you were family.

"We bones that are here, are waiting for yours," reads the inscription at the entrance to the Bones Chapel, a Franciscan temple of prayer and meditation in Evora, Portugal.

Cape Sagres was also the location of the legendary Nautical School of Sagres. The legend is that there wasn't actually a "school" there since resources in that area were too scarce to launch a sailing journey from this rocky coast.
