The history of Obidos as a medieval garrison town is well documented and there are booklets and maps detailing its history and general tourist attractions is available in the house. The roads from the airport are excellent. The people are courteous and friendly and the local cuisine is exquisite. Compared to other areas of Portugal and other countries in Europe the Silver Coast area of Portugal has a very healthy climate.
