Honeymoon Royally in the Traditional 'Wedding City' of Portugal

Castelo Pousada reigns over the lovely town of Obidos -- the walled 'Wedding City' of Portugal. Castelo was the first of many national monuments to be adapted and restored in Portugal, and it is itself an historical monument of national importance.

Obidos is a heart-stopping medieval village, revered for its typical white houses with blue trim, flowered windows, narrow streets, and beautiful stone-paved steps. Its major tourist attractions are the churches and pillory in the village, the Village Museum, Malhoa Museum, and the nearby lagoon. Adventure travelers explore Peniche and Alcobaca a short drive away.

Castelo's visitors wine and dine amid rich royal finery on asparagus with smoked ham appetizers, Dover sole fillets with butter sauce or road kid with herbs and giblets rice entrees, and rich egg sugar roll desserts.
