In the district of Santarém in the county of Ourem right in the heart of the Natural Park of Serra de Aire and Candeeiros one of Portugal's most unusual and rarest tourist attractions regularly draws crowds of visitors: the Natural Monument of the Dinosaur Footprints dates back to the Jurassic period and represent footsteps of one of the largest creatures that ever walked the Earth.

Sauropoda Dinosaurs left 20 exceptionally well preserved imprints in limestone that are some 175 million years old. There are two trails, one track measures 147 meters in length and the other is 142 meters long.

The educational and beautiful Jurassic Garden showcases the typical flora of that period and explains how Earth evolved through the millennia. A holiday camp for children aged 12 to 15 is a great place to "park" the kids for a few days, while enjoying life at the beach. Kids can learn and play, enjoy sports and discover the exciting world of living and extinct fossils along the way.

For more contemporary fun and sightseeing there is nearby Fatima, where the wax museum and imposing churches are just some of the highlights.

The small town of Obidos in the Oeste Subregion in the Estremadura province of Portugal is a charming historic town set within the walled fortifications of Obidos Castle. The name Obidos stems from the Latin and means literally "citadel" or "fortress". Imposing from its hilltop position, the medieval castle overlooks a picturesque mish-mash of white-washed houses and red roofs, forested hills and leafy green tiny squares.

For two weeks in the summer the small town hosts a popular medieval market, when heraldic flags and banners flutter from the castle's turrets and hundreds of street entertainers and stall holder-merchants appear seemingly out of nowhere in medieval garments.

The town transforms into a medieval playground for jesters and minstrels, jousting knights on horse back, jugglers showing off their art and artists offering their handicrafts. The hearty peasant cuisine of the day offers visitors delicious reminders of days gone by with hog roasts and grilled sausages, lamb, quail and rabbit as well as plenty of taverns that serve local wines.
