Óbidos
- we stayed in the castle tower - thick granite walls and an arrow slit window is a recipe for claustrophobia - I have a new respect for Rapunzel
- the streets were so narrow and steep - see above - that I got out of the car and walked - I'm cowardly sometimes
- if your hotel receptionist looks like Noddy don't be alarmed - it's not normal but it may be because there is a medieval fair in town
- it was a sheer drop from the battlements - not for the faint-hearted - but fun to watch everyone creeping around clutching the walls while drinking chilled beer outside one's tower
- the local speciality is cherry liqueur in chocolate cups - a black forest without the gateau
- so many tiny gardens to peep into and fall in love with
- thank you to MissM who knew immediately which track I was talking about

Beautiful, thank you
ReplyDeleteare there lots and lots of hummingbirds in Portugal? They love each of those flowers on this side of the ocean.
ReplyDeleteSo very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely prefer to be on the outside of the castle walls. The flowers are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteOh oh! The agapanthus!
ReplyDeleteSo I now know we share the exact same flowers and plants with Portugal.
ReplyDeleteNever been... but maybe one day?! :)<3
