Something interesting about Portugal is an antique tradition related to wedding presents. For the fortunate sovereigns of Portugal, an amazing wedding gift was the painfully beautiful town of Óbidos, a custom that won for many years (in other words, planning a tour or a nice visit to this place). Nowadays, it's skilled to the overall population, and it's absolutely worth the hour's drive north out of Lisbon to arrive at it.
Óbidos is a craftsman's fantasy not only for a curious traveler but also for locals. A mixture of whitewashed bungalows, bistros, and handicraft stores covering a series of restricted, cobbled roads are totally encased by durable middle age dividers.
There's also the Igreja De Santa Maria, which adds a superb inside of blue and white seventeenth-century azulejos (tiles).
A traditional center on the town's alluring square incorporates uncommon masterpieces by the seventeenth-century painter, Josefa de Óbidos. If you have enough time, do not forget to take pictures of these fantastic places.
