Thank you for watching. In case you are interested, you can find my video of Evora here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rI1myLZ8g8LNisY.html
This is so helpful. I love that you show getting lost and exploring. And that you go to these off the beaten path locations. It is really helpful for my own trip planning. Thanks for sharing!

It is a quiet town because not a lot of tourists visit it.

Thanks for the kind words and feedback.
Awesome video, sir! I watched it from start to finish. Your videos are interesting. BTW you got a good selection of music. The song at 9:43 brings back memories of my old trip with my wife to Rabat in Morocco. Our favorite restaurant there played similar music. I liked Graca Fort more than Luzia Fort. 👍

Elvas is amazing city, and a good place to eat the marvelous Alentejo cuisine, like Bacalhau Dourado (Codfish) and the Sericaia (delicious pudim cake).

This video is nothing short of exceptional. I love your videos. Just FYI, my parents-in-law are so grateful to you. Their Iceland trip was so smooth because of your videos. They told me they want to meet you in person to thank you 🙏🙏. Ok let's address the question you asked in this video and here is my 2 cents: I believe there is a big audience for your content but the right audience has not found you yet. They will find you in due time as long as you keep doing what you enjoy. Looking forward to watching your next videos.

Hi excellent video, just one correction Portugal has existed longer than Spain. King João IV restored independence after 80 years of Spanish occupation did not gain independence

@@WandererBell That second fortress was extremely photogenic! I hope Aows watched it, it suits his black&white photography so well. I don't have any photographic style though. I'll anyway keep this fortress on my mind, and hope to come there one day. That place requires several weeks, so many motives🙂

Thank you so much for the detailed information. Getting views is not my primary objective. I just film my visits because it is a hobby and the video might help other travelers visiting the same destination. You are right about people's lack of patience. I think this is why youtube is pushing so hard to encourage KZreadrs to create "shorts" to compete with TikTok and Instagram stories. Also, many KZreadrs try to use misleading thumbnails just to get the click to satisfy the youtube algorithm. I don't like to play those tricks because I am not on youtube for the money. It is just a hobby.

You lost me with the Arab music. Portugal was built on not being Arab. They were expelled by the Christians. Portuguese identity is built on Christianity.

What does the Arab music have to do with the religion? There is also Indian music in this video so I guess you forgot to mention Hindu religion in your comment. By the way, no all Arabs are Muslim. Just keep that in mind!
