#WalkingSquares Walking up to the Convent of Christ


Two weeks ago we were in Tomar, Portugal, walking up the steep track and steps to the Convent of Christ. You can see it on the top right next to the castle.


 The only people we met were dog walkers and three jogging policemen.


At last we arrived at this wonderful 12th century stronghold of the Knight Templars, but that is a story for another day.

    We loved our trip to Tomar! Many years ago now- 2011?- for the Festa dos Tabuleiros, which is only 4 yearly. I'd just started blogging.

    We saw a version of one of the Tabuleiros in Santa Maria de Oliveiro. See my WordlessWednesday coming this week.
