Episode 02 of Chasing Portugal dives deep inside the medieval walled city of Óbidos, a living 12th-century castle town frozen in time — and still very much alive today.
Far more than a historic landmark, Óbidos sits at the heart of Portugal’s outdoor and lifestyle playground. Just minutes away lies Praia D’El Rey, internationally regarded as one of Portugal’s top-ranked golf courses, while world-class surf destinations like Supertubos (Peniche) and Nazaré – Praia do Norte are within easy reach. Modern innovation meets tradition with Portugal’s first artificial wave pool, located only minutes from the castle walls.
With deep culinary roots, we explore the story of Ginja de Óbidos, the iconic cherry liqueur that defines the town’s identity. Discover how Ginja arrived in Óbidos — and visit the legendary bar still producing it using the same original recipe since 1956.
And if medieval stone walls aren’t your thing, Óbidos also opens the door to modern luxury living. Step into Lagoon Village, a collection of lakefront villas offering unmatched access to stand up paddleboarding and kiteboarding, right from your doorstep.
This is Óbidos — tradition, adventure, and modern lifestyle — told through the lens of true Chasing Portugal authenticity.
