PT-200060

The town of Óbidos, Portugal.

Óbidos remains a well-preserved example of medieval architecture; its streets, squares, walls and its castle are a popular tourist destination.

Each July Óbidos castle hosts a traditional Medieval Market. For two weeks the castle and the surrounding town recreate the spirit of medieval Europe.

The stamp is a hologram, it's really neat :)

Azulejos

These are Portuguese tiles, called Azulejos. Ana explained that the traditional costumes in the Azulejos are related to the occupations found in different regions of the country. Thank you Ana!
