Christmas village

Obidos is cleverly ruled. Dependent of tourism, as soon as spring comes and flowers bloom, tourist flock inside and commerce flourishes.

The cold months imply a break in the visits, so, the local authorities use their imagination to create special events to attract visitors.

March is time for chocolate, in summer people prefer the beach, so they have a medieval market, and Christmas time was… a temptation.

There it is, the Christmas village. Taking advantage of the gorgeous scenery of the castle, several amusements, mainly with kids in mind, give life to a lively city.

The problem is that, sometimes, the mild Portuguese weather forgets to come, and the artificial snow doesn't look so artificial after all, but… who cares?
