Thursday, September 26
After we finished breakfast at 10:45, we decided to explore Belmonte. After heavy rain, hiking would be challenging in muddy conditions, so we decided to hike on Friday instead.
I programmed Google Maps on my iPhone with Belmonte directions, and we started our drive in our Nissan Qashqai. On the way there, we took one wrong turn and had to return (an 8-minute delay).
We arrived at Belmonte's Jewish Museum around 12:09, but the museum had a policy of last admission at 12:30 (The museum closed from lunch from 12:30 to 14:00). I was hoping to see some Jewish artifacts in Belmonte.
We next tried to visit the Castelo de Belmonte but encountered the same problem. The castle was closed for lunch (12:30 - 14:00), But we took some lovely photos around the area.
As we wandered around the cute village, we stopped by the Jewish section, where we purchased some Jewish tiles.
We also stopped by a local cafe - Cabralina - to try local coffee, tea, and bread made from locally made preserves. The fruit preserves were delicious!
