DAY 4 — Monday, May 5, 2014
You can just feel the Knights Templar history in the town--still after 700 years. Had a short (12 km or 6 mi) walk from Golega to Atalaia (all small towns). Then prearranged wheels picked us up at 2 pm and drove us the 15 km (10 mi) to Tomar.
Mid-morning we rested in the shade of an olive tree, and a little later we ran into a deserted cluster of once splendid estates--almost eerie. Here in Tomar, we visited the synagogue, Church of St John the Baptist, and the first Templar church in the city, and then I decided to visit Fatima by myself (by bus) and meet up with Jean in the evening. Check out these pics:
