8 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Obidos That You Shouldn't Miss
When 13th-century Portuguese Queen Isabel passed through Obidos and marveled at its beauty, her husband King Denis I simply gave it to her. For centuries after, the kings of Portugal followed suit, presenting the picturesque little town to their queens as a wedding gift. With its white buildings shining as brightly now as then, the walled city of Obidos is very popular with tourists, its hillside location offering amazing views of the Estremadura area. The medieval castle is a main attraction.

Wanted to grab some beers after dinner and found Belgituda. This is an excellent Pub with a large selection of quality beers. Patrick was very helpful with introducing us to some new beers. The back courtyard of this bar has amazing views of the Aqueduto de Óbidos, I would highly recommend you grab some beers and take advantage of a great photo opportunity.

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.

We love bookstores, and this was the most unique one we've seen. It's in a de-consecrated church and even if you are not looking to buy a book it is well worth stopping in and having a look around.
