Seeking public transportation options traveling from Tavira to Evora on May 11, 2013.

Hi I am researching for my trip in the fall (October) and would like to know how to drive from Evora to Cromlech of Almendres (95 elliptical stones). Is it easy to follow the signs? Also is it straight forward from there to Tavira? I'm afraid that I'll get totally lost and stranded. It will be my first time driving in Europe. Directions and useful tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

we are coming by car from Castelo de Vide and will visit sites of Evora for 2 days in July. Should we stay in Evora itself or base ourselves somewhere nearby (Moura? Estremoz?) we dont want a fancy poussada ,just a nice clean little residencial. It seems that most of the places within the city are very expensive, and the ones that arent seem to have bad reviews on here. Also is parking going to be a problem inside the city? thanks all.

I always like to visit some local market.

1) does the train ride to evora really take 3 hrs, if then should I catch a train from lisbon 6AM? 2) Chapel of bones, is it really worth it to go in and see? or it is just too creepy? does it cost 2 euro? or it is more like donation 3) The Roman Temple, this is just a pic taking thing right, seems not much to it 4) Cathedral, it costed 1 euro is it donation or? worth it to go in? 5) Inquisition palace , is it worth to go in? how much? 6) CIty council of Évora Palace of Vasco da Gama Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval Palácio D. Manuel Palace of The Counts of Basto all worth it to go in or just taking pic outside? 7) Silver Water Aqueduct it seems to be outside of the town, how do I get there and back? any bus from center of the town? 8) also I heard the wines here are good too, can I easily get them from the store? how cheap is it? 9) if I get to evora by 9, what time do I need to leave if I want to see all before I leave? 6PM enough? many thanks I know I asked a lot of question at once 7)

We're considering Evora as a short-break destination (coming from London) to celebrate my wife's birthday early next month. Do any travellers who know it have advice on: - 1) whether they think this a good idea; 2) getting there from Lisbon (train? bus? hire car?); 3) mid-range accommodation; 4) and/or unmissable places to see and in which to eat? Many thanks in advance for any and all tips, Robin

Can anyone help me locate an English/Portugese speaking guide for an afternoon and evening. We are willing to pay a reasonable hourly rate and for their meal. We are easy-going travelers and will have an automobile. Our main goals are to visit Arraiolos during the day and Evora in the evening. My Portugese is limited to bom dia, obrigata and fala inglês, so we would need to be able to correspond in english. Thank you
