Obidos is a charming town not too far from Lisbon. It has narrow cobbled streets with whitewashed homes, accented with bright blue or red or yellow detailing, red tiled roofs and spreading purple bougainvillea blooms.
It is a tiny town but it has a castle, churches, restaurants and a maze of cobbled alleyways. But that is a story for another time… today’s challenge is Window Shopping, from Ritva. I am also linking this to Johnbo’s Cellpic Sunday.
I will now take you to Obidos’ main street, Rua Direita.
Peeking through windows…
Outside wired window displays…
Lots of Ginja’s on window sills displays. The “ginja de Óbidos,” or “ginjinha” is a famous local drink of cherry liqueur often served in a chocolate cup. It originated with 17th-century monks from the region, who combined Morello cherries and brandy, and drank it as an aperitif or after dinner.
Bread and cute ceramic displays
And such charming window displays just ready for anyone to buy.
A daytrip from Lisbon not to be missed.
Very eclectic photos Teresa 🙂
Yea they are. 👍
Great tour, very well photographed.
I love the place, Teresa. We have friends who moved there from here and I love to visit them.
I so love the character of the place too! So happy that we visited it.
Thanks Teresa for joining in, your images are lovely -Bread and cute ceramic displays were a really good picks for windows. Loved also the last three images, especially the ones with flowers and the bike was an added bonus.
Thank you Ritva. Obidos is simply adorable everywhere you look.
Hopefully one day I can visit.
I’m not a huge shopping fan, but these displays are pretty tempting. In fact … pretty.
Same here, but it is just so lovely to look around and for sure really tempting.
Great response to the challenge. It is a great place to Window shop and enjoy some European vibes.
Definitely. Thanks John!
A perfect venue for the challenge Teresa, loved all of them!
Thanks so much Tina.
What a wonderfully colourful place.
Yes, I really enjoyed the day trip. 👍🏼
Lovely, Teresa! And a bike is always right for me!
Yes that is true , bikes always make a photo and the place extra special. I wonder why? 😄
Charming 🙂
That is very true ❤️
Beautiful clicks!
Such a lovely town!
Thanks so much for your comment.
You really captured the charm of Óbidos, one of my favourite places in Portugal. Lovely photos, Teresa. Did you try the ginjinha?
Sorry, no I didn’t… I am boring. I don’t like the taste of any wines or alcohol. 🤷🏻♀️
