点评:We had a wonderful stay and walk around in Monsaraz Castle
We arrived late afternoon with the hope to find accommodation = but apparently this castle has very limited accommodation and is booked up months in advance
A very nice lady offered to call a friend and she had accommodation close by in a small town a few km’s drive from the castle
What amazed me is that very limited english was spoken but between google translate, hand signals and nodding and smiling we managed to get accommodation
Whilst I was busy to get accommodation by daughter stumbled onto a ginger cat in the castle - at first he was friendly - she petted him and then walked away - the next moment he attached her and bit her on her arm - quite viciously - the same lady gave us disinfectant and helped us with the deep bite wounds - this was an aweful experience and another hotel owner up the main entrance to the castle told us that that cat is the GENERAL OF THE CASTLE and has bad manners - my advice PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THE CATS AT MONSARAZ CASTLE - my daughter ended up (a few days later on antibiotics and I still think that a tetanus injection was necessary but nobody nor any doctor at an ER felt the need)
The castle has beautiful cobble streets, little restaurants, nice photo opportunities and are set on a hill over looking the valley
A must visit in the area dispite our cat bite experience
翻译:我们在蒙萨拉什城堡度过了美好的时光,也四处逛了逛。
我们傍晚时分到达,希望能找到住处,但显然这座城堡的住宿非常有限,而且几个月前就被预订满了。
一位非常友善的女士主动提出帮我们联系一位朋友,她朋友在离城堡几公里远的小镇上有住处。
令我惊讶的是,那里的英语水平很差,但我们通过谷歌翻译、手势、点头和微笑,最终还是找到了住处。
在我忙着找住处的时候,我女儿在城堡里偶然遇到了一只姜黄色的猫。起初它很友好,她抚摸了它,然后走开了。结果下一秒,它就扑向她,狠狠地咬了她的胳膊。那位女士给了我们消毒液,并帮我们处理了很深的伤口。这真是一次可怕的经历。城堡正门附近另一家酒店的老板告诉我们,那只猫是城堡的“将军”,而且很没礼貌。我的建议是:请务必小心蒙萨拉什城堡里的猫!我女儿最后(几天后)后来服用了抗生素,我仍然认为当时应该注射破伤风疫苗(但急诊室的医生和其他人都没有意识到这一点)。
城堡里有美丽的鹅卵石街道、精致的小餐馆,是绝佳的拍照地点,坐落在俯瞰山谷的山丘上。
尽管我们被猫咬了,但这里仍然是该地区的必游之地。
