About

The purpose of this visit is to make you feel the soul of the Extremadura region through its rural landscapes. Be surprised by the vineyard and agricultural landscape among the white limestone massifs with Mediterranean vegetation, villages and towns of whitewashed houses with flowered streets, windmills and white stone churches lined inside with tiles that tell us stories. All this just 1 hour away from Lisbon.

You will complete the tour in the flowery village of Obidos. This fortified village is one of the ex-libris of Portuguese heritage and will be a surprise to you, since it is a medieval village surrounded by the walls of its castle, serving as a living, inhabited testimony that has remained almost unchanged since the end of the XVII century. Walking through the streets of Óbidos is to make an appointment with the past, through its sidewalks and Gothic houses from the 16th and 17th centuries.
