The Walk

A walk from Grupo Desportivo da Fanadia

The walk starts in Fanadia, east of Caldas da Rainha, and passes through cultivated fields, orchards, and small forests toward the far east side of the Óbidos lagoon. It is a fairly easy route along dirt tracks and quiet back streets. Please carpool if possible, as parking space near the starting point is limited. If needed, you can use the side streets or the parking lot in front of the football field, located about 200 meters from the start via Rua da Escola. Well behaved dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a short non extendable leash at all times during the walk for safety reasons.

Timing

The walk is about 8,5km and is expected to take about 2 1/4 hrs, plus extra for coffee.

Reguengo Grande (obi 10L)

Planalto das Cezaredas

Friday 22/05 10:00

The walk begins in Reguengo Grande next to the Junta de Freguesia where there is a café and parking. During the first half of the walk we will follow well maintained trails through scenic forests of pine and eucalyptus trees. On our way we will include a short detour and visit the charming Jardim da Celeste. As we approach Moledo the landscape shifts into a more agricultural and livestock farmland. There the trails will have some small inclines and are not so well maintained any more, so bring your poles if you are used to them and we could potentially come across some muddy spots. Please be reminded that for safety reasons dogs must be kept on a non-extendable short leash at all times. You are personally responsible for your animal.

Capela de Santo Antão from Óbidos (obi09L )

Date & Time

Friday 27 March 2026 10:00

LONG WALKS, Óbidos

The Walk

A circular walk from Óbidos passing through Capela de Santo Antão

Moderately challenging for distant and short ascents. There is a viewpoint near the church in Arelho, where we can take a short rest, but NO cafe or WC along the way. Plan accordingly.

Park in the free lot behind Prohibition Bar. We’ll gather at the bus stop across the street from the CGD bank and begin our hike along the northern flank of the Obidos castle wall, cross the RR track and walk a ways along a flat agricultural trail. We’ll skirt around Arelho, through Carregal and out to some orchards and fields near Trás do Outeiro. There’s a short ascent to Capela de Santo Antão with stunning views, after which we have one final descent and ascent back to the parking lot.

SUGGESTIONS:
Bring a mask to cover your nose in case farmers are spraying — one never knows! Use mosquito spray – I’ve been attacked by gigantic bugs in the past. Raingear — it is Portugal, after all.

Timing

The walk is about 13.5 km. and is expected to take about 3-4 hr.

A-dos-Negros (obi 09S)

Óbidos fountains walk

Wednesday 18/02 10:00

On this route we will walk through the village of A-dos-Negros located on a ridge in the eastern part of Óbidos and we will come across some of the numerous fountains, wells and ancient wash-houses of the region. We will get some nice views especially facing Gracieira and to the northwest towards the water reservoir of the Arnóia River and the Atlantic on the horizon. The route starts towards the Church of Santa Maria Madalena and its beautiful surroundings. It continues on sandy tracks and quiet streets flanked by orchards, vegetable gardens and groves. The houses in the village center have some unusual features… The route will then lead us downhill to the reservoir and through a small forest back to the village. Please note that we’ll be most of the walk in or very close to a village and therefore your dog has to stay on a short non extendable leash at all times. You are personally responsible for its behavior and liable in case of an accident.

Olho Marinho (obi 16s)

Planalto das Cesaredes Green Trail

Wednesday 17/12 10:00

The circular 7,5 km walk starts at the Junta de Freguesia of Olho Marinho. The walk takes us uphill through the historic center of the village towards the Planalto das Cesaredes. On the Cesaredes we will find many dry stone walls resulting from the clearing of land for agriculture. From several points we will have nice views of the landscape and the valley of Óbidos. The uphill path towards the plateau is mostly on rural tracks, but not very steep. However, the downhill path is narrow and quite steep in some places, so don’t forget to bring your poles if you are used to walking with them. Please be reminded that for safety reasons dogs must be kept on a short leash at all times. You are personally responsible for your animal.
