Balconies, Windmills and Flowered Lanes: A Day on Montejunto and Óbidos.
Set out from Lisbon for an 8-hour private tour that traces the rural soul of the Extremadura region: planted fields and verdant slopes give way to limestone massifs dotted with Mediterranean vegetation, villages with whitewashed houses and flowered streets, windmills, vineyards and tile-lined churches. The route culminates in Óbidos, a fortified medieval village whose Gothic and 16th–17th-century houses remain an inhabited testament to Portugal’s past.
