12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Nazaré To Óbidos, A Charming, Small And Fortified Town With Narrow Streets And White-Washed Houses

For your penultimate day on this tour, we’ve saved you a visit to two of Portugal’s most emblematic villages. One - Nazaré - is considered one of the most typical and famous Portuguese fishing villages, due to its cove protected by the promontory, with a breathtaking view of the sea, as well as its main economic activity, which is very present throughout the village, with welcoming and laughing people who welcome visitors, not forgetting to show their seven skirts (undoubtedly one of the most important traditions for the people of Nazaré). In keeping with its economic activity, the fresh and tasty fish here is also a must - the most famous are the caldeirada à moda da Nazaré, the grilled sardines, and of course the fresh and exquisite seafood, enjoyable at any time of year. The other - Óbidos - loses its origins over the centuries, maintaining its layout and buildings from the medieval period. This town, situated on a high point a few kilometres from Lisbon, like a waterfall on the horizon, was given by King Dinis to his wife, Queen Isabel, and has therefore maintained its importance and wealth over the centuries. Here, the built heritage is very rich, with plenty of tile decoration and the well-preserved whitewashed houses, which contrast with the walls that guard it. The town’s joy is implicit in its narrow streets, flowery and colourful windows and patios. A leisurely stroll through the town will take you back in time. However, your adventure in Óbidos can’t end without highlighting the gustatory delights - the fish from the Óbidos Lagoon accompanied by the local wine will refresh your day, but one of the most emblematic attractions is undoubtedly the Ginginha, which, served in a chocolate cup, provides the perfect contrast.

The city of the seven hills combines the traditional with the contemporary; alongside historic and well-preserved buildings you’ll find spots of modern art that in perfect harmony reveal a city that is both typical and cosmopolitan.
