Just a short journey back inland to the 14th
Century walled town of Obidos (pronounced Obish!). We parked the van at a privately run
camperstop just on the outskirts of town near the viaduct, and entered the town
on foot through the Porta da Vila.
Porta da Vila
The chocolate festival finished the day before, but the town was still in party spirit, with plenty of chocolates still available (yum, yum). The weather was glorious, and the views from the fortified walls were spectacular.
The castle is now a Pousada (expensive hotel). The whole town was extremely well kept and very picturesque.
After enjoying a cup of coffee on the Rua Direita we picked up some traditionally made pastries for our tea and returned to the camperstop for the night .
