Outside Perola da Lagoa, and moving away from the lagoon area, there are many places of interest and activities for all the family. A 15 minute drive takes you to the beautiful medieval walled town of Óbidos. Its a good place to start, where narrow cobbled streets have bars & restaurants, shops selling local crafts & wines, beautiful churches and pretty white houses with terracotta roofs. The town hosts numerous events during the year, including classic and popular music concerts, and the Annual Medieval Fare. Recommended is a walk around the ramparts with spectacular views !
After a further 5 minutes you arrive at the lively spa town of Caldas da Rainha. Here you will find a mixture of shops for shoes & clothes, traditional coffee houses and restaurants, also the daily open air fruit & veg markets. Going slightly further afield explore the beaches of Baleal, the fishing port of Peniche and historic Abbey at Batalha. The impressive Sintra & city of Lisbon are just 50 mins drive too.
