In today’s video, we visited the charming and beautiful Óbidos Vila.
As soon as we enter de Vila the double-arched main entrance caught our attention immediately, with its beautiful tiles and painted ceilings. After it, we got lost in Rua Direita, the main street of the Villa which is full of cafés, restaurants, craft, books, and souvenir Portuguese shops.
Almost at the end of this street, you can find Santa Maria’s Church, it’s a church from the XII century and it’s the most important church in the Villa. It was built for several centuries, that’s why it has lots of different styles mixed together. In the same square of the church, we found an XV century pillory to which wrongdoers would be tied naked for public humiliation and punishment.
After we search for the entrance to the Castle walls since you can walk the walls all around the Villa! It was really fun and gave us a different perspective of the vila and its surroundings. If you’re afraid of heights like Du it might be a little bit intimidating :P Then we trying some Ginjinha, which is a Portuguese cherry liquor, and you drink it from a cup of chocolate that you eat after! It was so good!! The lady from the liquor store told us a good restaurant to have lunch, so we went to have lunch at Petrarum Domus.
Finally, we left the Vila and went to explore the beautiful Óbidos Lagoon (Lagoa de Óbidos), with calm and clear water and perfect for water sports like kitesurfing and windsurf!
Hope that you guys enjoyed our day in Óbidos :)

Thank you.

We’re Maria and Du, we met shooting a commercial in Lisbon (Maria’s city) in 2018.
We started a distance relationship flying twice a month (Lisbon - Barcelona) and after a few months of that, we finally moved in together in Barcelona, where Du was born and raised (his parents are from South Korea).
We started our Youtube channel because we love traveling, we always enjoy our trips and we wanted to keep our memories through nice videos, now we can share them with you.
Our final goal would be traveling full-time and someday, helping people around the world doing something nice.
