[QUOTE="jungleboy, post: 1136778, member: 77691"] [B]Day 6 — Granja MG to Óbidos: ~19km [/B] After our first four long and tiring days and yesterday’s constant shortcut-hunting, our sixth day on the Caminho do Mar today was our easiest and most relaxing stage so far. The distance was short and the path consisted mostly of dirt trails, taking us past vineyards, orchards and wildflowers. Best of all, we knew that a fabulous destination awaited us at the end of the stage: the walled medieval town of Óbidos. We had been to Óbidos several times since first visiting it in 2015, but it was still with great excitement this morning that we caught our first glimpse of the fortifications in the distance and began to approach the castle-town. We arrived by lunchtime and, after eating and resting, we explored the town and its ramparts and drank some obligatory ginjinha (a sour cherry liqueur famous in Óbidos) from chocolate cups. Revitalised and with no more long stages left, we are now on the home stretch of this camino with Fátima just four days away! Some practicalities: [LIST] [*]The church of São Pedro in Óbidos is the place to get a stamp. [*]Some stage guides don’t include an overnight stay in Óbidos but I think it’s well worth it. If you just pass through in the middle of the day the place will be thronging with tourists, but staying overnight allows you to enjoy Óbidos at quieter times. [/LIST] Some photos: 1.
