The organic market of Óbidos is on Rua Direita, the busiest street in the village. It is a chance for the thousands of visitors to Óbidos to taste some of the best produce grown in Portugal.

The organic market

You can buy a wide range of fruit, vegetables, bread and liqueurs, many of them organic: grown with organic compost and without chemical fertilisers.

The market is at number 28, sharing the space with the Market Bookshop, part of the Ler Devagar project, where second-hand books fill old fruit crates.
