Is it correct that Dom Duarte has a property in Alentejo, close to Serpa? Some friends are adamant that he does, though inthis thread I do not see such a property listed, as it is only about Sandar, Portimao and Sintra. Serpa is a lovely place btw, I can highly recommend a visit.
Last month I was finally able to visit the palace of Vila Viçosa. What a disappointment.
Although the place looks lovely from the outside, esp. as it was sunny, the inside was not remarkable and esp. not well maintained. The tour guide was very friendly though and had tons of stories & anecdotes.
Apparently they kept things as they were during the times of Dom Carlos, but the furniture, paintings etc. were damaged by the times. Some paintings were nearly black. And the building/museum also lacked a coherent 'story'. Since the rooms were kept as they were in the past it was very difficult to follow the history of the house of Braganca and to keep all the dukes apart.
he has nothing to do with that.
