Vous aurez l'occasion de vous promener dans les rues étroites et de parcourir les boutiques. Vous pouvez vous promener sur les murs avec une vue imprenable sur la campagne environnante et terminer votre visite en buvant la traditionnelle Ginjinha de Óbidos (eau-de-vie de cerise aigre), qui peut être dégustée dans divers endroits, de préférence bue dans une petite tasse de chocolat. Après avoir marché dans les rues d'Obidos, vous pouvez y rester pour le déjeuner OU, avec le toit baissé, vous rendre à la lagune d'Obidos et déjeuner au bord de la magnifique plage de Foz de Arelho.

Itinéraire
La ville médiévale d'Óbidos est l'une des plus pittoresques et des mieux conservées du Portugal. Vous y trouverez un château bien conservé à l'intérieur des murs, et un dédale de rues et de maisons blanches où il fait bon flâner. L'église principale de Santa Maria, l'église de Misericórdia, l'église de São Pedro, le pilori et, au-delà des murs, l'aqueduc et le sanctuaire de forme ronde Senhor Jesus da Pedra, ne sont que quelques-uns des monuments que vous pourrez visiter. La cuisine locale propose une bouillabaisse à base de poisson de la lagune d'Óbidos, qui sera encore meilleure si elle est accompagnée des vins de la région d'Oeste. Une autre attraction est la célèbre Ginjinha de Óbidos (eau-de-vie de cerise aigre), qui peut être dégustée dans divers endroits, de préférence bue dans une petite tasse de chocolat.
Au confluent entre la lagune d'Óbidos et la mer, la plage de Foz do Arelho offre le choix entre deux types de plage très différents. D'un côté la lagune, un lieu d'une grande beauté naturelle avec ses rives couvertes d'une épaisse végétation et ses eaux douces idéales pour les enfants et la planche à voile, bénéficiant de la brise qui souffle normalement ici. De l'autre côté, l'océan ouvert, agité mais sans courants sous-marins importants créant d'excellentes conditions de surf avec un drapeau bleu européen témoignant de la qualité des eaux au large de cette plage.
a magnificence pure de la conception architecturale monumentale du palais, du couvent et de la basilique de Mafra témoigne de l'opulence de la cour du roi João V. Résidence d'été de la famille royale, le palais comprend diverses collections d'œuvres d'artistes principalement portugais, italiens et français travaillant sur commande royale, notamment des peintures et sculptures baroques, des vêtements et ornements religieux et des peintures murales d'artistes portugais de premier plan. La Basilique abrite un ensemble de six orgues, unique au monde et ils viennent s'ajouter à deux carillons totalisant 114 cloches - 57 dans chaque tour. Fabriqués à Anvers au XVIIIe siècle, ils sont également les plus grands du genre au monde.

We had such a great experience last year with Lain, that we returned again this year! Best way to start our vacation - pick up day one with Lain for a tour. We enjoyed Obidos this time around and drop off in Sintra at the end of the day. Another wonderful experience and highly recommended.
Hi Lisa, thank you for another great review and so good to connect woth you and Neil again. I really enjoyed showing you around beautiful Obidos and all it has to offer in terms of history, food and drink. I hope you enjoyed Sintra and then the Azores. Take care and until the next time!
Iain provided us with more than we expected. Yes, we were provided a timely and courteous driving experience, picking us up at a convenient location and delivering us to our daily destination. However, it was everything in between that was very special. Iain personalized our experience to ensure we would maximize our time with what we would enjoy most. Moreover, he made recommendations we wouldn't have thought of or chosen ourselves, but they were all great. He was a fantastic guide, and I could not recommend spending a day or more with Iain more.
Hi David, thank you for the great review. You are very kind. It was a real pleasure to tour with you and Kira, I had such fun and you were a great couple. I am glad that my recommendations met with your approval. I hope very much to see you again next time you are out this way. Please give my best to Kira. Take Care. Iain
We went to Óbidos, Foz de Arelho and Buddha Eden Gardens. Iain was the perfect guide for us. Explained all about each place and answered any questions. Really lovely guy and perfect guide. Iain picked us up from our hotel at the time agreed and our adventure began. From start to finish, it was what we wanted and so much more. Had a coffee stop in Óbidos, lunch in Foz de Arelho and Iain allowed us to explore Buddha Eden Gardens together. Has given us some great ideas for future trips and I will definitely return and Iain I hope will be free on our dates to help us explore more of the beauty Portugal has to offer. I highly recommend Iain to any couple looking for a guide. Portugaltours4two.com with Iain will be everything you want. Great selection of tours to choose from.
Hi Jo, thanks do much for your review. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with you and Bill. You were such fun.. And I am so glad it was everything you wanted and more. Looking forward to the next time already. Take care. Iain
Ian was a delightful and patient companion as we toured Obidos, the Silver Coast and Mafra. He allowed us to set the pace, and encouraged us to take coffee breaks, to wander in and out of shops and churches. We had a delightful lunch at a restaurant facing the lagoon and ocean on the silver coast, and he gave us plenty of time to visit the palace and basilica at Mafra. The entire day was splendid!
Hi Celia, thanks for the review. I had great fun touring with you and Richard and I am glad that it covered everything you wanted to see and at a pace that suited you. That is very important to me. Thank you also for lunch, it was very generous of you. I hope the rest of your time in Portugal goes well and if you have any querstion just ask!! Tale care. Iain
We had a wonderful day with Iain. The ride to different places along the coast was amazing and the recommendation for lunch was great.
Hi Linus, thanks for the review. Great to spend the day with you and Lisa. It was such a fun day and a pleasure to show you the delightful coastline of Portugal. And I am glad that you enjoyed lunch. It is a special place. Take care and maybe see you again soon!. Iain
An excellent experience travelling the area with Iain. He has an excellent local knowledge and speaks the language well. His tours are flexible and can be designed to personal requirements. Thoroughly recommended and he also knows great places to eat, which suited us fine!
Hi Rich, thanks for the review. Great to spend the day with you and Anne showing you the beautiful towns and coastline of Portugal. Glad you enjoyed Dom Quixote. Indeed a special place with great food, atmosphere and views. Hope to see you again soon. Take care. Iain
Went on a full day tour from Lisbon. It was an exciting trip and I would highly recommend Iain Bendrey from portugaltours4two.com. We spent a few amazing hours at the medieval town of Obidos before being driven in a convertible along the western coast stopping at Boca da Inferno, Guincho, Cabo da Roca, Praia Grande e Azenhas do Mar, Cascais and returning to Lisbon. Besides the feeling of being in a walled-up medieval town with a castle, Obidos certainly has many interesting little shops to try out their amazing Ginja de Obidos (cherry liquor) and freshly squeezed orange juice. Iain showed us many natural hidden gems along the coastal route and that made the trip all the more worthwhile. The picturesque beauty of nature along the route was breathtaking. Do capture the best of Portugal with Iain as he patiently drives you on a safe journey and takes you to the best spots to admire.
Hi Vas, thanks for the fab review. Great to spend the day with you and Shan, such fun. You certainly liked the Ginja! I hope you haven't drunk all those bottle!! But you are right, Obidos is beautiful as is the West Coast of Portugal. Thank you once again fo taking a tour with me and I wish you happy and safe onward travels! Take care. Iain
Enjoyed the medieval charm of Obidos, the beauty of the surrounding countryside, lunch on the beach, and the amazing pile of bricks that is Mafra. Iain was a wonderful and friendly guide. Plus I enjoyed tooling around the Portuguese countryside in a convertible!
Thanks Lucien for the review. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. Óbidos is a beautiful town as is the surrounding countryside and coastline. I am glad you found it a great experience and enjoyed being driven in the convertible! Thank you again for booking the tour and for lunch. It was very generous of you. Hopefully see you again in beautiful Portugal. Take care. Iain
