It\u2019s much cooler this morning as we finally get the Hymer ready and roll to the services point before saying goodbye to Alcoba\u00e7a. The GPS is set for \u00d3bidos about 45 kms to the south. Our guide book describes \u00d3bidos in glowing terms, given it\u2019s proximity to Lisbon and the season we expect it to be busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the southern side of \u00d3bidos (next to the aire) is it\u2019s impressive 3 km long aqueduct. We though it Roman but it was built in the 16th century. Like most ancient villages in Portugal it was once held by the Moors, who were chased out by the Visigoths, conquered by the Romans, then abandoned to the Spanish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
