Ansião - Esplanade Olhos d' Agua, Rua Herois de Ultramar, Ansião
The red * markes the approximate spot for the venue Esplanada Olhos d' Agua.

Tomar - Estalagem de Sta. Iria, Mouchão Parque, 2300-586 Tomar.
I have had some trouble finding an online map of Tomar which shows the island in the River Nabao which is the home of the Estalagem. So my best efforts at a description.
Cross the old bridge or at least make your way to it and the main Post Office (Correios) which faces the river and the parks. There is an old wooden waterwheel and just in front of it there is a small bridge which you can cross and drive down the avenue of trees to the Estalagem which lies at the end. There is some parking here. The Hotel Templarios is directly behind it. Please note there is no direct access from the Hotel Templarios to the Estalagem without walking around to the front.
It is really easy to find it is mostly that people do not think they can cross the river on the bridge and you can.
Lousã
At the Pousada de Juventude, Rua da Feira, in their lounge/bar area on the left from the front door and there is parking in the front. I believe the building is slightly to the left of the marker on the page.
