Óbidos: A Step Back in Time
Óbidos, a little walled town, so offers a unique window back in time. So when you go walking its small, winding streets, very you’ll be close to buildings which are centuries old, complete with little, very painted houses that have flowers overflowing from balconies, which make it a place where it’s great for photos! Rather, a bit don’t miss trying the local *ginjinha* (cherry liqueur) served in a little chocolate cup – is that really a special, traditional taste of Óbidos.
When it is time to discover this place expect to spend about two to three hours for walking through the town, checking out that castle, and looking in little stores. The walls give good, panoramic views for those photo opportunities; it’s easy to lose yourself just wandering around and looking in things!

So it’s yet not only a surfer’s dream but, you see that amazing sight and how nature demonstrates incredible. But there’s a great, good side of Nazaré that just attracts tourist attention: it’s a little about its customs and people’s outfits. You could see very old ladies that sport seven skirts – yes, that really is part of their heritage. Have rather, a bit some fresh seafood, especially grilled sardines, by the beach, to have that whole experience.
If there aren’t any waves (very much in Summer), you may still see all of the beach vibe and the charming local character. That funicular which travels up the cliff is more of a fun little ride which will reward passengers some amazing, good views looking over the beach and ocean.
