Igreja de Santa Maria

Reviewed By Margo7850p

Lovely church. On the outside, it's not that glamorous, but on the inside, it's very beautiful. The church was built in 1148 and rebuilt in the following centuries. It was built on the remains of a mosque which in turn was built on the ruins of a Visigothic temple. The current structure has a Renaissance style. Its interior is distinguished by a painted wooden ceiling and tiles from the 17th century. It was in this temple that the future King Afonso V, then 10 years old, married his cousin Isabel, who was 8 years old. Its surroundings are very picturesque with the square it presides over and the adjoining buildings. A must see in Obidos.

Obidos Village

Reviewed By markbH9929KY

This was our second visit to the amazing and beautiful village of Obidos. Should be the top of everyone’s list of places to visit if touring or holidaying in this area. You can walk right around the village on the castle walls, enjoying the fab views from lots of different vantage points, then enjoy the gorgeous narrow streets of this old Moorish village. Truly stunning.

Baleal Beach

Reviewed By Ricardomster

Came with the family and we had a great day. The beach is quite big with plenty of space for everyone to be well over 2m apart due to covid19. Parking wasn't an issue, we arrived around 11 and there was lots of space, at least during weekdays on vacation. Lots of surfers here as it's a hotspot for surfing. Water is a bit cold, not that bad really, but once you get in you're good. Highly recommended, will come again!

Beautiful old church from the glory days of Portugal. Pay 1 Euro and visit the old chappel with corridir stil plastered with the Original azulejos. Don't mis it when you go to Nazaré

Praia do Salgado

Reviewed By Minikev

We went mid morning just before it got busy in the car park. Absolutely awesome waves on this beach, you could just sit and watch them for hours. Worth the drive out of the towns, to see nature at its best.

Foz do Arelho Beach

Reviewed By ivocarneiro - Macau, China

Foz do Arelho is the ideal beach for a family with kids having summer holidays in the center of Portugal. Other than the front Atlantic beach, wild and challenging, Foz do Arelho is still part of the old medieval Lagoa de Obidos, receiving a large sea loch that is calm, warm, ideal for kids water plays. The beach has very clean infrastructures, including clean washrooms and proper showers. You can easily rent a tent and enjoy the sea lough, the bluish sky, and the slopes falling to the Atlantic. You can also enjoy the long sidewalk properly paved and some reasonable typical beach restaurants—a perfect beach for family summer holidays.

Great waves, miles of golden sands, quite lagoon and plenty of restaurants. Not too busy, even in July. Perfect.
