Obidos
One of Portugal's world heritage sites. The charming village nestled within the ancient castle walls has become one of the most popular places to visit for visitors and locals alike. For centuries, people fought to hold on to this beautiful castle, first the Romans, then the Moors and finally in 1148 it was claimed in the name of Portugal. It subsequently developed into a major trading port along the atlantic ocean. In the 13th century it was given to Queen Dona Isabella as a wedding gift. In the 16th century the port dammed up due to large silt deposits at the river delta but to remained a popular destination and remained a wedding gift for every Portuguese queen for years to come.
To this day Obidos has remained one of the most popular tourist attractions in Portugal, capturing the imagination of all who walk the walls or stroll along the cobble streets through the markets and shops. This amazing place has become famous for its festivals, such as the chocolate festival and the medieval festival. Obidos is also renowned for the drink known as Ginja, a delicious cherry liquer that is drank out of a chocolate cup which is then eaten afterwards. Delicious!
