Medieval Festival in Obidos - 7th to the 24th of July

July - Obidos medieval fair is on
 
Medieval Fair in Obidos - 7th to the 24th of July
 
For the 10th year the town of Óbidos will travel again back in time and recreate the customs and spirit of medieval Europe.
 
Flowing vibrant banners and heraldic flags, wizards, jugglers,
court jesters, wandering minstrels, musicians and mimes provide the vivacious merriment.
 
Craft demonstrators and some 100 food, beverage and merchandise vendors take visitors to a time that has long passed.
 
The afternoon concludes with jousting knights on horseback.

Entertainment activities take place in all three stages of the Old Arms Square and in random areas of the fair. Visitants will also come upon two civil and military camp sites, replicas of assault weapons, surgical and domestic tools, and different animals, such as horses, ponies, donkeys, falcons and snakes.

Visitors can also enjoy a “medieval” style meal. Hearty soups, grilled meat and sausages, snails, cod, quail, rabbit, hog, lamb and squid are only some of the tasty delights offered by almost 20 taverns spread throughout the marketplace.

Whoever wishes may also exchange Euros for the local currency of the fair: the TORREÃO.
This coin was created especially for this event and is equivalent to the Euro. There is no exchange rate and you can take these coins home as souvenir.

Berlengas Island in the Silver Coast has just been classified by UNESCO as a World Natural Reserve
 
The Berlenga Island is about 7 miles from the Peniche Port (Portugal).

It is 1500 meters long and 800 meters wide, with a perimeter of 4000 meters and reaches 88 meters at its highest point and –30 meters at its lowest.

It is a region of great interest for botanical specialists with several endemic species and species of limited distribution.
Important nesting spot for some species of ocean birds (such as the guillemot - Airo uria aalge- , a symbol of the reserve), and a passing point for several migratory species.

It is a Maritime Natural Reserve of great wild life richness, particularly ichthyology.
 
Visits are possible, but restricted, by boat that can be accessed by the Port of Peniche.
The islands is a fantastic scene for observing the natural caves on a boat guided visit.
