We saw parts of Caldas da Rainha as
we came to the parking area. It is known for hot springs for health, and Royal
patronage, but it is not possible to go to a Termas today for leisure and
relaxation.
We moved on 8 km to Óbidos, to find
we were on the main tourist trail again. Camper parker was easy with a
designated area and a short walk to the Town Gate. This beautiful fortified
town has history back to the Romans, later Moors, and it became the Town of the
Queens of Portugal. There is such a lovely atmosphere in the charming streets.
Four music students from the music Conservatory of Óbidos were busking to raise
money for their tear end trip and we sat to enjoy a few songs. The young girl
singer in particular had a wonderful voice and we imagine that she was singing
some traditional songs as passers-by were singing as they walked.
We enjoyed local cooking in the afternoon.
Wanting to make more distance we
drove on in the late afternoon.
