I am passionate about everything related to medieval culture, I am fascinated by visiting castles throughout Europe, attending events among other activities! Someone told me that there was a city called Brota that is 150km from Lisbon where I could book a hotel room or medieval "inn" for 85 euros a night and stay... I thought... I can seriously stay in a medieval house?, I ended up investigating and indeed there is a small village called Brotas in Evora which we could reach by car from Lisbon in 2 hours and then we will look for a place called: "Houses of Romaria" and at that moment.... Our adventure begins .🚩🌍👸🏻

Empieza nuestra aventura.🌄🏔️🏰
How to locate the inn?🧭🏰 / Como localizar la posada?🌍🚩
First of all, like any inn, you must reserve first and I suggest that it be through booking. I leave the link here at the end of the paragraph. Getting to Brotas is easy, just take the national highway. I suggest that you use your own or rented vehicle to get there without Car is almost impossible, there is no train and there is no public transportation, let's say a place in the middle of nowhere waiting for us to give us a super experience of peace and tranquility. "Brotas" is located in Evora, that is, in the Alentejo of Portugal, that is, in the south of the country in a fairly arid and hot area, the best time of the year is spring, pay attention. This week there are 42 degrees temperature, analyze if you want to take the risk of visiting in summer.🌍🚩🌲
Antes que nada como cualquier posada debes reservar primero y te sugiero que sea por booking te dejo aqui el enlace al final del parrafo, llegar a Brotas es facil basta por coger la carretera nacional, te sugiero que sea en vehiculo propio o alquilado llegar alli sin carro es casi imposible no hay tren y no hay transporte publico digamos un lugar en medio de la nada a espera de nosotros para brindarnos una super experiencia de paz y tranquilidad. "Brotas" se ubica en Evora osea en el Alentejo de Portugal osea al sur del pais en una zona bastante arida y caliente, la mejor epoca del ano es primavera ten atencion. Esta semana hay 42grados de temperatura analisa si quieres asumir el riesgo de visitarlo en verano.🏰👸🏻

A village with a lot of history🧭🏰 / Una aldea con mucha historia🌍🚩
What we read about the village is that it dates back to the 15th century in the era of discovery. Around the village we can visit several dolmens, this indicates that the lands in the area had already been inhabited in 3000 BC, it is quite small. and we can explore it all in just 30 minutes walking, the inn includes food (breakfast) but not lunch and dinner, in the village there is only one restaurant and its prices are somewhat high for two people, they should be around 50 euros or 60 maybe. On the outskirts of other villages a little less than 20km away you can look for other alternatives. Like for example the village of "Mora".🌲🚩👨🏻🏫🏔️
Lo que leemos sobre la villa es que data del siglo XV en plena era de los descubrimientos, al rededor de la aldea podemos visitar varios dolmenes esto indica que ya las tierras en la zona habian sido habitadas en el 3000 antes de Cristo, es bastante pequena y podemos recorrerla toda en tan solo 30minutos caminando, la posada incluye comida (desayuno) pero no almuerzo y cena, en la aldea solo hay un restaurante y sus precios son algo elevado para dos personas deben rondar los 50 euros o 60 quizas. A las afueras de otras aldeas a poco menos de 20km puedes buscar otras alternativas. Como por ejemplo la aldea de "Mora".🌍🌄🌎
Review of my house🧭🏰 / Resena de mi casa🌍🚩
The houses of Romaria is the name of a group of houses which belong to "Brotas", currently there are some families that are descendants of the first inhabitants, that is, there are people here whose property title was granted in the 17th and 18th centuries, however, they are already They were living in the XV incredible, right? Currently only 6 families live in the village, many had to emigrate in search of better opportunities because they only lived here from agriculture. That's the view from my bedroom window, what do you think?🌄🌍
Las casas de Romaria es el nombre de un conjunto de casas las cuales pertenecen a "Brotas", actualmente hay algunas familias que son descendientes de los primeros habitantes, osea hay gente aqui cuyo titulo de propiedad fue otorgado del siglo XVII y XVIII sin embargo ya estaban viviendo en el XV increible no?, actualmente en la aldea solo viven 6 familias, muchos tuvieron que emigrar en buscas de mejores oportunidades pues solo se vivia aqui de la agricultura. Esa es la vista desde la ventana de mi cuarto que te parece?🚩🏰🌲
I love making reviews and comments about hotels where I stay, I am sure that they will be useful for people who want to visit our country, so I can help them find the best options. When I arrived at the reception, we were greeted by the owner of the inns, who was a very friendly and talkative woman. She gave us a short tour of the place and showed us the places of interest. From the beginning, she gave me to understand that she knew a lot about the place. history of the place, when telling us what our house was, the first impression I got was the door was large and made of heavy wood, do you know what the lady told me? Which is the original, I mean a real medieval door wow!! The space is large, they are houses, not a typical hotel room, they have a kitchen, refrigerator, microwave; They have ones for 4 people.🚩🌍
Me encanta hacer criticas y comentarios de hoteles donde me hospedo, tengo la certeza que serviran para personas que quieran visitar nuestro pais, asi consigo ayudarlos a las mejores opciones. Cuando llegue a la recepcion nos recibio la duena de las posadas la cual fue una mujer muy simpatica y conversadora, nos dio un recorrido corto por el lugar y nos mostro los sitios de interes, desde un principio me dio a entender que sabia mucho de la historia del lugar, al indicarnos cual era nuestra casa la primera impresion que me lleve fue la puerta era grande de madera pesada, sabes que me comento la senora? que es la original osea una verdadera puerta medieval guao!!. El espacio es grande son casas no un cuarto tipico de hotel, tienen cocina, nevera, microondas; tienen unas para 4 personas.🌎👸🏻

As you walk through the streets of the village of Brotas you see some things that catch your attention like these beautiful doors that were restored and are from that time, the original keys are on display in the restaurant.🌍🚩

Sanctuary "Nossa Senhora das Brotas"🧭🏰 / Santuario "Nuestra senora de brotas"🌍🚩
Roman catholic church🏰🌍
Before the construction of this church that you see here there was a chapel whose construction is unknown but which was before 1424 and of which there is a legend that I will tell you in the next paragraph, for now I will tell you that this is the main attraction of The village and one of the most visited sites in Alentejo, is a beautiful imposing church full of tiles, I have never seen a church with so many beautiful tiles in all of Portugal and that is why it is classified as (national heritage)🧭🌏
Antes de la construccion de esta iglesia que ves aqui existia una capilla que se desconoce la construccion pero que fue antes del 1424 y del cual existe una leyenda que te la contare en el siguiente parrafo, por ahora te comento que este es el principal atractivo de la aldea y uno de los sitios mas visitados de Alentejo, es una iglesia imponente hermosa y llena de azulejos nunca vi una iglesia con tantos azulejos bonitos en toda Portugal y por eso es clasificada como (herencia nacional) 🏰🏫
To enter the church you must make an appointment with the person in charge, I was lucky that since I stayed on Saturday for Sunday there was mass on Sunday, so I think it is interesting to spend a weekend and see if you are lucky to be able to enter, it is worth it Look at how many tiles there are on all the walls except the ceiling. Starting in the 18th century, it began to undergo renovations and a mixture of different architectural styles was created: (Gothic, Baroque, Neoclassical). According to the owner of the inns, she told me that the priest in charge of Portugal invested thousands of euros this year to improve and restore the chapel, that's how important it is for the country.🏰😮
Para entrar a la iglesia debes marcar una cita con el responsable, yo tuve la suerte que como me quede sabado para domingo habia misa el domingo por eso creo que es interesante pasar un fin de semana y ver si tienes suerte de poder entrar vale la pena fijate cuantos azulejos hay en todas las paredes exepto el techo, a partir del siglo XVIII comienza a sufrir remodelaciones y se hace una mezcla de diversos estilo de arquitecturas: (gotico, barroco, neoclasico). Segun la duena de las posadas me indico que el cura propio encargado de Portugal invirtio miles de euros este ano para mejorar y restaurar la capilla, asi de importante es para el pais.👸🏻🌍
The famous legend of the chapel🧭🏰 / La famosa leyenda de la capilla🌍🚩
The church is next to my inn, so I can see it from the front window. The owner of the inn told me the history of the chapel. It is said that in the 14th century a shepherd was leading some cows and sheep when suddenly one of his cow fell into a hole and broke his leg, in his desperation he began to pray and went to look for help, when he returned the cow's leg had been cured by a miracle and the people who accompanied him witnessed such a thing! In those days a chapel was built to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for that miracle.😮👸🏻
La iglesia esta al lado de mi posada osea la puedo ver desde la ventana frontal, la duena de las posadas me conto la historia de la capilla se dice que en el siglo XIV un pastor estaba llevando algunas vacas y obejas cuando de pronto una de sus vacas se cayo en un hueco y se partio una pata, el en su desespero comenzo a orar y fue a buscar ayuda, cuando regresa la pata de la vaca se habia curado por un milagro y la gente que lo acompanaba presencio tal cosa! en esos dias se construyo una capilla para dar gracias a la virgen maria por ese milagro.🏫🚩👨🏻🏫
Font 1699⛲🏰 / Fuente 1699🌍🚩
Another place to visit is the fountain that is at the entrance of the inns, as you can see it was built in 1699, so we are talking about what? three hundred and a few years? amazing, right? The owner of the inns told me that their function was to wash clothes or they were used for domestic use in homes.🚩🌎
Otro de los sitios para visitar es la fuente que esta en la entrada de las posadas, como puedes ver fue construida en el 1699 osea estamos hablando de que? trescientos y pocos anos? increible no? la duena de las posadas me comento que su funcion era para lavar ropa o se usaba como uso domestico en los hogares.🏫⛲
The swing👨🏻👩🏻👶🏻🏰 / El columpio🌍🚩
This is the third place that we visited within Brota, it is the main children's park and inside is this beautiful swing which allows us to observe the entire village from its highest point, I recommend being here at sunset, I think it is the best The only modern thing in the place, the rest of the things are old.⛲
Este es el tercer lugar que visitamos dentro de Brota se trata del parque principal infantil y dentro esta este hermoso columpio el cual nos permite observar toda la aldea desde su punto mas alto, te recomiendo estar aqui en la puesta de sol, creo que es lo unico moderno del lugar el resto de las cosas es antiguo.🌷🌳🗺️
National Heritage⛲🏰 / Patrimonio nacional🌍🚩
For me, of the whole experience, my favorite part is this, when you enter the inn, that is, in the room where you sleep, you see these things, what they did was modernize the house, paint it, but they left the original structure uncovered, that is, these arches, and bricks that date back to from the 16th century, and since it was classified as heritage of the municipal chamber, it is important that it not be altered too much so as not to lose the essence of the village. It is also prohibited to paint the house or make changes without authorization from the municipal chamber.🏫🌎🌎
Para mi de toda la experiencia mi parte favorita es esta, cuando entras en la posada osea en el cuarto donde duermes ves estas cosas, lo que hicieron fue modernizar la casa pintarla, pero dejaron sin cubrir la estructura original osea estos arcos, y ladrillos datan del siglo XVI, y como fue clasificada como patrimonio de la camara municipal se trata de que no se altere mucho para no perder la escencia de la aldea. Tambien esta prohibido pintar la casa o hacer cambios sin autorizacion de la camara municipal.👨🏻🏫🏫
What a delicious breakfast🥞🍳/ Que rico desayuno🌍🚩
Today's menu is made up of a variety of typical breads of the region called Alentejo breads, they also served us some homemade jams, fried eggs and other things, I was fascinated by the varied and delicious food, the old objects that decorate the restaurant also caught my attention. restaurant and that tell the history of the village.🍳🥞

See that blue N2 sign? That is a famous route in Portugal that is the national highway that literally runs through the country from end to end and they place a sign in many villages to promote tourism and encourage people to stay in inns or hotels along the route.🗺️👨🏻🏫
