Well i stumbled across your web page this morning, its now 11.45 am and i have not done a stroke of work as i have read your blogs non stop, better than a Dan Brown novel !, and much funnier. I have built / renovated a house in Serra de Tomar, overlooking the Costelo Du Bode. Taken 3 years of blood sweat and bribery LOL. but just about finished now, apart from being on my third builder rectifying the second builders cockups who was finishing the first builders failed attempt to build my house and rip me off almost to bankrupcy …. But i still love the place and the people. Try Cave de Irene, just past the Intermarch, turn right at the roundabout and its maybe 100 m on right hand side. All home made traditional food, tiny little place, just love it. All the best Emma, you really are pretty original. Regards Neil

Hi
I am originally from Tomar and although living in Sydney now, have to say I still love this city as much as the day I left it 25 years ago.
The restaurant across the river is called “Bela Vista”, there is also another favourite of mine just as you start to leave the city towards Lisbon ” O Manjar dos Templarios” which is very good.
The traditional cake is the Tigelada, and the best sardines are to be had on a Friday at the “tascas” surrounding the markets.
Can’t wait to go again.

Ema
Um dia que volte a Tomar não deixe de ver o Aqueduto dos Pegões. Água para uso doméstico do Convento e para rega da sua horta, a Cerca conventual.
Mais uma vez parabens pelo seu blog.
