Incredible series! Your drone footage and music selection was really good, particularly the soft music and brief periods of silence at the church or castle. Very nicely done. While still waiting to leave for Lisbon, your videos have become one of the highlights of my week! Thanks and I look forward to your next adventure!
I live in the town where Castelo de Almourol is located and I'm so happy that you liked the experience. Also, Tomar is one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal.
U must go futher north of the river, see Constancia the village of Camões, the Belver castle, the Rodão Doors a natural geologic monument, the capital of Beira Baixa, Castelo Branco with the magnificent gardens, and the natural park of Internacional Tejo with the historic villages (Monsanto, Idanha-a-Velha, Penha Garcia, Rosmaninhal, Malpica do Tejo, Monforte da Beira), and the magnific food, wine and handicraft
So happy to start my day watching your videos. I would watch them for hours. You are the best. Keep going showing Portugal and thank you for doing the way you do. Love you.
the History of Portugal is connected at many points, very closely with the Templars. infact unlike what Hollywood likes to make people think, it was actually in Portugal, that templars ended taking refugee
The Templars were all over Europe and were initially financed by the Pope. They had castles and properties all over and this Order was divided in multiple units. The Portuguese Templars ended up gathering in Tomar as it was their local base. The Pope ordered the end of this organization because it was by far abusing their initial purpose. They were created as fighting Knights from mostly noble origins (not monks although they had to make specific vows) to help pilgrims to the Holly Land and be a force of Reconquista against the Moors. But as they got extremely rich trough favors and donations from Kings that would gladly forsake cities and castles in exchange of protection and other financial benefits (Templars became notorious for being loan sharks and for starting the notion of Banking), their influence became extremely dangerous and they started acting like rogue militia. Plus, with the fall of Jerusalem and the end of Reconquista, this order had not only no purpose but their activity was limited to bothersome operations that menaced medieval equilibrium of forces. As such, No. Templars did not took refuge in Portugal. As they were on trial all over France, England, Portugal, Spain etc, each local order had their own faith and things to worry about. The idea that the Templars were one and only entity and that they ended up in Portugal is a ridiculous idea that came from nowhere. It's just BS stories told to feel up people with nationalist ego and tourists with fake history.
@@gabkoost In 1319 the Order of Christ was created in Portugal. The Order of Christ was with the protection of the Portuguese king, Denis, who refused to pursue and persecute the former knights as had occurred in most of the other sovereign states under the political influence of the Catholic Church. So technically, you could say they did take refuge in Portugal.
@@rattfink99 Wrong. The order of Christ was a new order that took charge of PORTUGUESE TEMPLAR assets. King Denis intervened near the Pope asking for a way to negotiate something other than the complete dissolution of the Portuguese faction as they had been instrumental to reconquista and would refuse to simply erase them. I keep reading the same things over and over. The Order of Christ NEVER was a new order of the Templars and it never brought ex templars from around Europe to Portugal. Templars from other nations were either arrested or converted to other orders while the assets of the Templars were also transferred. The order of Christ was a nice solution. The all mission, purpose and vocation of the Templars ceased when the Pope ordered it to cease. The rest was, as it is clear, a new organization with the sole purpose of controlling the huge assets they had gathered.
@@rattfink99 They were to the point the Templars ceased to exist. That's my point. You don't need to be murdered to be persecuted. Templars of Tomar were accused of Heresy just like the others in France and England. Order of Christ weren't Templars. Like i said, it was another order created to spare their lives and control their assets.
Hi Classy Couple, Loved your wrap-up with Sagres Vacations. As always you did an outstanding video showcasing Porto and the outskirts but really did a super job promoting Sagres Vacations. I think Portugal may be opening up borders to outside countries - just announced UK is welcomed. I hope USA will be too. Again wonderful job. 👏👏👏
your footage is unbelievable. You guys are so talented. I love the clip you inserted with Joen's mom. That was quite hilarious actually. She has a great sense of humor and he looked like a little boy just wanting a hug from mama...LOL.
As always... nicely done! The end of your 4 days, was showing. Nice to be home! That river area would take more time, to thoroughly experience. I could spend some time, and better explore the food and beverage offerings. (I’m taking notes.) The castle grounds were dramatic... and you could imagine so much life and death, there. Joen, I understood your moment of contemplation of time shifting, because of the simple beauty of it all. But, as lady A, said... we are spoiled in the use of modern toilets. I love your music selections... and would enjoy a collection of wine sipping drone music! 😉
Do you wish to spend one night in a castle? I suggest you *Pousada do Castelo* in Palmela, close to Lisbon. It's an amazing hotel with old style rooms since it's located in a castle. Plus the Palmela and the Arrábida areas are wonderful regions.
Beautiful video footage. A few quick questions: (1) Which drone did you use to fly over Tomar’s Castle? (2) Do you need a special permit to do so, (3) Where did you take the boat from to see Almoural Castle?
Finally you took a small visit to my town ^^ but Tomar has so much more to see .. not just the Castle/Convento de Cristo .. Its the 3rd more visit monument in Portugal with over 400k people^^ Hope you come again with more time ^^
Sad you only visit the castle. Tomar has more to see. Also, we have so many good restaurants, you will definitely enjoy the food. "Taverna antiqua" and "casa das ratas" good suggestions for when you come here again. Cheers, good video 👌🏼💯🔥
You guys inspired me to plan a trip to Lisbon, I'm coming on 4th of September. I was planning it from January, I was actually very excited about this trip until I found out Lisbon is now in state of contingency...I just hope everything will be ok
Could you do a Portugal itinerary video for visitors?! What are your must-see recommendations and maybe places that wouldn’t be worth the time on a short trip? 🎉
Guys, altough the drone footage at 12:29 were amazing, I think that you can't fly drones in that specific area because that's in close proximity with the Lisbon airport approach path. I'm sure you can't fly above 200 meters but I'm not sure if you can or can't fly there. If you guys want more info about this topic there's a app that you can download and see where you can or can not fly drones and RC, the app is called ''Voa na Boa''. apart from that, nice vid
No we are not. Templar Knights weren't Portuguese. I mean, some were. But the reconquest effort was financed by the Pope and all the European Crowns that weren't happy to see the continent subject to a new invasion after the centuries it took us to get over the Roman Empire and it's downfall. Templar Knights were Knights from all over Europe fighting in the name of Christ and their Lords. Portugal just happened to be one of the hottest battlegrounds. This being said, the French and English were the most prominent nations of the Templar movement.

Tomar is very pretty, and your efforts with the portuguese language are very amusing, keep it up. I have to agree with Amelia, I'd rather live in these days with running water and anesthesia.

1:27 - It's not "high tide" because the tide doesn't reach that far inland. In Tancos (the village where you took the boat), the water rises according to the discharge rates of the two portuguese Tejo dams, Fratel and Belver, the spanish Cedillo Tejo dam and the Castelo de Bode dam, located in the Zêzere river. 1:36 - That village is called Arripiado. 3:04 - Whoever told you that you were near Tomar fooled you. You were almost 30km away. Tomar has no connection whatsoever with the Tejo river. ; )

Thank you so much Robin! If you need anything we are here to help :)
Almourol e Tomar são passeios inesquecíveis em Portugal! Carregados de história e beleza.

Whats the name of the last song of the video?
Já estive aí em 2015, hospedado no Hotel dos Templários.
I was in primary school there 55years ago
Love the music in this video!!
Cadinho is abbreviation of bocadinho (a little bit, a little).
Carinho is affection, 'care'.
Ah, very important!
Bocadinho, for its part, is diminutive of bocado. And so on.
