SURROUNDING AREA

LISBON
Just one hour away and easy to visit for a day. Boasting springtime temperatures during the winter and pleasant summers freshened by Atlantic breezes, Lisbon offers a rich and impressively integrated diversity. The capital of Portugal since it's conquest from the Moors in 1147, Lisbon is a legendary city and still retains much of its original layout. At it's heart are wide, tree-lined avenues graced by Art Nouveau buildings, mosaic pavements and street cafes. Seen from the river, one of the city's many great view points, Lisbon is an impressionist picture of low-rise ochre and pastel punctuated by church towers and domes.

People in Lisbon love going out and the city has a variety of areas with different styles of restaurants and bars one can visit. Lisbon's bars, theatres, cabarets and discos add spice to life in the city after dark. The Fado House, where one can savour the excellent local cooking and listen to the emotional music of Lisbon, is unique.

OBIDOS
Obidos is considered to be one of the jewels of Portugal’s national heritage. It's outstanding architectural beauty is reflected as much in the winding narrow streets and elegant whitewashed buildings and balconies decorated with flowers as in the ancient churches and the magnificent Moorish castle whose high protective walls encircle the town. Conquered from the Moors in 1418, Obidos was once the favourite retreat of King Sancho I and was a wedding gift from King Diniz to Queen Isabel. Within the city walls there are some charming restaurants and shops well worth visiting.
