Rua Direita is the main street of Obidus, for which a significant part of tourists do not go out. Everything you need is taken out here: souvenirs, local liqueur and chocolate, the Portuguese capital of which is Obidos. There is nothing surprising or original about the street. The usual white-washed walls with blue trim. Sometimes decorated with geraniums. It's just that the street is very narrow and there is a feeling of overcrowding by tourists who stop at the shops on the outside, creating a sense of crowds. Maybe it happens naturally, or maybe it's a marketing trick.

It's the main street of Obidos so fairly touristy. You can taste the local sweet cherry liqueur from some of the shops here - Ginja. Well worth a try. For more of the character of Obidos try some of the side streets.

We strolled thru the Rua Diretta as sunset approached. There are many little shops to explore. Be sure to stop and taste the chocolate and the pastry or enjoy a coffee. Another local favorite is the Ginjinha liqueur made from sour cherries. It comes served in a small cup molded from edible dark chocolate with a small sour cherry at the bottom. I found it delicious although you probably don't want to sample too much!

This is a narrow street with a flagstone gutter in the centre, and who is going from one end to the orther end and is flanked by white houses decked with geraniums and bougainvillea. And not to Forget the single street with bars cafés, shops etc. to much to be mentioned all. Nice to see in summer and to walk up and down.

This is the Main Street in Obidos lined with restaurants, shops and bars. You have the city gate on one end and the castle on the other. It is a very romantic town.

This is the main street in the little village of Obidos. Great photo opportunities , interesting doors and windows. Lots of shop, wine tasting, places to eat. Don't miss the side streets.

Rua Direita is the most famous street in Obidos village. It is a bit touristic as the centre of attention but if you manage to keep yourself away from the prices and try the parallel streets for shopping and restaurants, you will enjoy it even more because the street is still beautiful. At least you can enjoy the traditional drink ginja....Keep your camera on as the side streets are full of colours with the colours of house walls and pots...

Beautiful cobbled street running through the whole village from Porta da Villa gate to Obidos castle.
It's the center of the action in this cute village. Many small cute shops, Ginja cherry liqueur and wine shops (with shots in chocolate cups for 1,50 Eur), restaurants, churches,....etc.
