The Portuguese town of Óbidos has long been known for its medieval cuteness (while earlier it was regularly presented to the queen of the day to demonstrate the king’s affections, now it is continuously admired by senior citizens of northern European countries and photography classes with substantial equipment).
However, in the midst of souvenir shops and tourist savy cafes, one can find a true gem of shopping fundamental goods: Vila Literária Óbidos sells both secondhand books and organic fruit and vegetables. The two product segments come together in emptied fruit boxes which cover all four walls from floor to ceiling, making for an appealing vintage interior design.
