      Tag 9: Coimbra

      29. august 2022, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

      Den heutigen Tag verbrachten wir in der Studentenstadt Coimbra. Sofort war für uns klar, dass es sich bei Coimbra um ein Juwel hält, dass in den Reiseführern mehr Beachtung benötigt. Die zahlreichen spanischen Touristen wussten dies schon. Das UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe hat jede Menge zu bieten.
      Wir begannen unseren Tag in einem kleinen Cafe bei dem „Mosteiro de Santa Cruz“. Nachdem wir genügend Kalorien zu uns nahmen, besichtigten wir direkt die Kirche. Anschließend besichtigten wir noch die katholische Kathedrale „Sé Velha“, die uns architektonisch udn kulturhistorisch interessierte. Danach führte uns der Weg durch die historische Altstadt zum Campus der Universität. Beeindruckt von dem palastähnlichen Gebäude, wollten wir noch den „Torre cabra“ besichtigen. Mutig erklommen wir die 184 Stufen in einem engen Treppenhaus, um mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht auf die Stadt belohnt zu werden.
      Anschließend gingen wir in den „Jardim botânico da universidade de coimbra“. Der botanische Garten ist ein absolutes Highlight.
      Nach der ganzen Lauferei machten wir am „Rio Mondego“ Pause, tranken einen Kaffee und entspannten. Wir wollten es uns nicht nehmen lassen mit der Bimmelbahn durch Coimbra zu fahren und so konnten wir nochmals viele Attraktionen von einem anderen Blickwinkel sehen.
      Zum Schluss ging es nochmal bergaufwärts zu unserer Unterkunft, dort machten wir uns für das Abendessen frisch.
      Das Abendessen nahmen wir in einem authentischen portugiesischen Restauran zu uns, der „Taverna Casa Costa“. Das essen war fantastisch und die Preise unschlagbar.
      Morgen geht es nun weiter nach Viseu, dem Geburtsort von Tiago.      Læs mere

      Day 11: Rabaçal to Coimbra

      15. maj 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      I started out shortly after 6:00 am from Rabaçal knowing I would have to make up the 3.9 kms that Anita & Ernie had walked yesterday when they continued onwards to Zambujal. I thought I would be trailing them until we got to Conimbriga, the site of Portugal's largest and most impressive Roman site that Ernie was keen to see. As it turned out, they had gotten off to a later start than anticipated so I caught up with them just as they were leaving of Zambujal.

      On our way to Conimbriga, we crossed paths with an oddball barefoot "priest" who gave us our scripture reading for the day. The passage urged us to love our family, love our friends, love the people we work with. In essence, the importance to love others. We weren't sure if this was the priest's shtick to ask us for money, but he continued to say that happiness was found within us, not the outside world, and that we should be tortoises and not hares on our Camino journey. He then got us to each ring a bell 3 times for luck and we continued on our way. We weren't sure what to make of him, but he didn't ask us for anything in return, and his words certainly resonated true with me.

      We stopped at a cafe in Conimbriga for our first break of the day only to discover that we had already overshot the Roman ruins by 1.1 kms. I hesitated to retrace my steps, adding extra mileage to a day that was already proving to be a scorcher. In the end, I couldn't resist, nor could Ernie so we went back to see the ruins while Anita decided to carry onwards.

      When we got to the ruins, we were so disappointed that we wouldn't be able to access the site until 10:00 am so we had to content ourselves by touring what we could from the exterior.

      As a result of our desire to see the Roman ruins, Ernie and I ended up playing catch-up with Anita for most of the day. We finally met back up in Antanhol for the last 6.3 kms into Coimbra.

      We arrived tired and hot and as we walked through town to our accommodations, we saw a sign telling us it was 14:45 and 35 degrees. With the backtracking we did, I walked about 32 kms today. It was a real sense of accomplishment, and the cherry on today's cake was when I saw Roch hiking up the hill to our guesthouse.

      Distance covered since Lisbon: 252 kms.      Læs mere

      Francesinha festival, Coimbra

      15. maj 2022, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      When we were onboard the heritage train, Roch noticed an outdoor festival taking place shortly after we passed the Botanical Gardens. Curious to know what it was about, we retraced the train route and found the Francesinha festival in full swing.

      The Francesinha is a Portuguese sandwich originating from Porto. The literal translation for its name is 'Little French Girl' but it's only little in name. It’s a rather large sandwich filled with layers of beef steak, cured meat, fresh sausages, topped with cheese, covered with a beer sauce, and typically surrounded by French fries. It is, apparently, the Portuguese adaptation of the French classic, the 'Croque-Monsieur'.

      Since the festival had stalls offering vegan versions, how could we say no? The sandwich was indeed very yummy. The vegan cured meat tasted surprisingly like bacon. It all washed down tremendously well with a cold beer.      Læs mere

      Coimbra!

      14. juli 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      Giro veloce a Coimbra con annesso pranzo-cena fregatura in cerca di una Francesiña vegetariana,a avevamo davvero troppa fame a quel punto, dopo tutti i giri nelle aldeie ed il trekking senza toccare cibo 😅.
      L'abbiamo poi trovata in periferia in un posto davvero molto bello, la taverna Cumpostu (seconda cena 😀!)
      È stata una lunga ricerca, ma ce l'abbiamo fatta!
      Per le poche ore passate Coimbra sembra molto giovane e viva, sicuramente da rivedere.
      È anche una bella cittadina universitaria.
      Dani dice che ha troppe salite 🤣!      Læs mere

      Universität Coimbra...

      7. februar, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Nach einem guten Frühstück gings wieder rauf auf den Hügel zur Universität von Coimbra. Zuerst haben wir uns den Zeremoniensaal angesehen. Die Universität verfügt ebenso über eine kleine Kapelle. Beeindruckend hier war vor allem die große Orgel. Einzig in der Kapelle hat es extrem gestunken, weshalb man nicht lange dort verweilen wollte. Anschließend gings in die Universitätsbibliothek. Beim ersten Raum war ich etwas enttäuscht, da es in keiner Weise interessant war aber als wir dann in das Hauptgebäude geführt wurden, war ich fasziniert wie prunkvoll sie ist. Leider durfte man hier keine Fotos machen. :/ aber ihr könnt sie euch wie bei Harry Potter vorstellen.

      Im Ticket war ebenso noch ein Besuch im Wissenschaftsmuseum inkludiert. Das war naja semi interessant. Man konnte einiges auch ausprobieren aber die Hälfte dieser Geräte war außer Betrieb. Im Museum für Kuriositäten waren alle möglichen Steinsarten ausgestellt und Tiere in Gläsern bzw. Tierskelette oder ausgestopfte Tiere. Der botanische Garten befindet sich gefühlt noch im Winterschlaf. Die Gartenarbeiter sind aber schon fleißig am gartlen.      Læs mere

      University of Coimbra - the Library

      5. oktober 2019, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      We headed up to the University this morning to explore the campus. First thing we did was purchase tickets to enter the various buildings, and secured a time to visit the library. It is broadly accepted that this University was founded on 1 March 1290. For many years, the “General Studies” alternated between the two largest cities at the time, Coimbra and Lisbon. After three centuries of roaming, in 1537 the University settled definitely in Coimbra, as ordered by King João III. The University of Coimbra is Portugal’s oldest University, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We explored the large courtyard that has a statue of King João III, and has lovely views down to the river.

      We visited the library, known as The Old (Joanine) Library, at 11 am, as it is timed entry. There are three levels in the library. The Academic prison is on the first level. It was used until 1832, and was where students served time for having committed disciplinary offences. There is a middle floor, also called depository 4, which was used to keep books to which only a restricted group of staff had access. The top floor, referred to as the Noble Floor, is unbelievably ornate and contains thousands of books. It is divided into three sections, has three ceiling paintings, ornately carved columns supporting the shelves with lots of gold, and a royal portrait of King João V. Interestingly, there is a colony of bats that also reside in the library to keep the insects such as moths under control, as they can eat the books. Each night the tables and other furnishings are covered in leather sheets to protect them from the animal droppings. No photos were allowed on the Noble Floor.      Læs mere

      Coimbra

      1. juni 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Coimbra, die ehemalige Hauptstadt des Landes, besitzt eine gut erhaltene mittelalterliche Altstadt und ist Heimat der historischen Universität Coimbra. Die Universitätsstadt hat ca 140.000 Einwohner, darunter etwa 30.000 Studenten. Die Oberstadt (Alta) und die Rua Sofia gehören zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Hier kann man gut 1-2 Tage einplanen wenn man beide Flussseiten erkunden will, für uns hats leider nur für eine Übernachtung gereicht.Læs mere

      Bats and Books

      21. juni 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

      On our way from Lisbon to Porto we stopped at the medieval college town of Coimbra. The students here still go to class in robes, and some have suggested that J. K. Rowling may have used this university as her model for Hogwarts. On this visit, we were able to see the fantastic baroque library. It was built by King Charles III not because he loved books, but because his brother-in-law had just built a similar library in Vienna, and the younger brother did not want to be outdone. It is difficult to check out a book here, though not impossible. Scholars can receive special permission to use volumes from the shelves, albeit with many restrictions. The building is beautiful, and this was the first library in the world to have a card catalog system. The shelves and the cases in which they stand all numbered so that a book could be found readily. One interesting feature of this library is that the heavy teak doors remain closed to preserve the temperature and humidity. A side-effect of this practice is that very little oxygen comes into the room. This is good for the books, but not so much for people. Therefore, the groups that visit this library must be very small, and they must stay long no longer than 15 minutes. Another peculiar feature of this library is that up in the rafters live colonies of bats. Over the centuries librarians have learned not to molest or remove the bats because they eat moths that destroy the books. If I were to brush up my Latin, I fancy that I could live in this room.Læs mere

      University of Coimbra - The Tower

      5. oktober 2019, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      We next visited the Tower, where we climbed 192 stairs up a very narrow spiral staircase, that narrowed further about half way up. It was worth the effort, as we had wonderful views across all of Coimbra. The Tower was erected around 1728, and was designed by Roman architect António Canevari, to replace the prior one from the 1600’s. The Tower houses the bells, the most popular of which called ‘the goat’, whose chimes conduct the University’s rituals.Læs mere

      Wandering around the campus

      5. oktober 2019, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      After seeing all these wonderful buildings at the University of Coimbra, and as it was a lovely sunny day, we decided to explore the campus a bit more widely. We passed a number of faculty buildings, including the Medicine, Chemistry, Physics and Botany faculties. When we reached the edge of the campus, we could see what looked like an Aquaduct which ran along the side of the Botanical Gardens (also part of the university). It turns out it is the Aqueduto de São Sebastião. We also popped into the Botanical Gardens for a quick look, but decided not to go all the way in.

      We then decided to head back up to the Science Museum, located on the University campus but, as the main part was closed for cleaning, we instead went to the Museu Nacional De Machado De Castro - located just across the road - where we first had lunch in their restaurant, which has great views.
