We had plenty of time at Fatima to have lunch as well as to view the enormous esplanade, visit the two churches & chapel & see the graves of the three children that witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady in 1917, & even to attend midday mass.
From Fatima we traveled southeast to Evora, our overnight stop. Upon arrival we made a walking tour of the town, seeing the main sites (the 'bone chapel', the main square, remains of the Roman aqueduct, baths & walls, the Roman 'Temple of Diana', & the cathedral). Then there was free time - to shop for cork products or enjoy a glass of local wine - before we met up for dinner in an authentic Alentejo restaurant were delicacies included scrambled eggs with asparagus!
Another great day.
