Category: Culture and Entertainment > Art Gallery

District: Leiria > Óbidos > Óbidos > Pinhal

Location

Located in the area known as Pinhal, this house is situated on the outskirts of the historic town of Óbidos. Pinhal is an area that surrounds the walled center, offering a more spread-out and tranquil environment compared to the bustling streets within the walls.

Its slightly set-apart position from the main historic core allows for a different perspective of Óbidos' surroundings, in an area that combines residential elements with some proximity to the nature characteristic of its name.

Aesthetics and Atmosphere

The name 'Casa da Buganvília' highlights the striking presence of this colourful plant on the premises. The bougainvillea, with its vibrant flowers, contributes to a visually appealing and welcoming atmosphere.

This botanical element gives a distinct character to the house and the space where the market takes place, creating a colourful and lively setting that complements the visit experience.

The Market

The space functions as a market, offering visitors the opportunity to discover and acquire a variety of products associated with the Óbidos region. The focus is on items that aim to represent local production and the area's culture.

In an environment that seeks to reflect a spirit of closeness and authenticity, this market allows for the exploration of a selection of items that can be found in the area, outside the more intensive tourist context within the walls.

A Unique Space

Casa da Buganvília, Óbidos Market presents itself as a point of interest that combines the atmosphere of a market with the distinctiveness of being integrated into a house featuring a unique botanical element.

This combination creates a relaxed atmosphere, different from the experience found in Óbidos' historic centre, inviting visitors to explore at a calmer pace, appreciating the detail of the bougainvillea and the products on display.
