The Obidos Medieval Festival runs from July 16th to 26th. During these eleven days the town of Óbidos travels back in time to recreate the customs and spirit of medieval Europe. Flowing banners and heraldic flags, wizards, jugglers, court jesters, wandering minstrels and musicians provide the entertainment. The afternoon concludes with jousting knights on horseback and armed combat.
Hearty soups, grilled meat and sausages, snails, cod, quail, rabbit, hog, lamb and squid are just some of the medieval style meals offered by almost 20 different taverns spread throughout the marketplace. The entrance fee is 6 euros a head but, if you are in medieval dress, it's free. Óbidos is ten minutes from Praia Del Rey where www.holiday-rental-portugal have a great selection of villas, townhouses and apartments to rent.
