A wonderful medieval jewel, as well as one of the best preserved fortified cities in the whole country.

Obidos is a beautiful village in the Extremadura region, about 80 kilometers north of the capital.
The far from being too far from Lisbon makes it an ideal destination for a day trip. But it is only after having breathed the atmosphere of the place that you want to stay. At least for one night.

Its narrow and winding alleys, surrounded by the picturesque houses. The perfectly preserved walls. The churches and the 16th century aqueduct … the glance is truly incredible. And, of course, the wonderful Castle, one of the seven wonders of Portugal!

Extraordinary atmosphere that not even the influx of visitors (in some days, really excessive) can diminish.
And if you are on a trip around here, don’t forget to taste the Ginjinha, the renowned cherry liqueur. At one time, it was even used as a medicine for children! Obviously diluted!!!!
