From the 2nd to the 12th of November the International Chocolate Festival was held in the Vila of Óbidos ( about 30 min from Lisbon).
Dedicated to all things chocolaty, this fun festival is a chocoholics dream and features a raft of events for chocolate-lovers of all ages.
Aside from the judging of such mouth-watering competitions as the International Chocolate Recipe and the International Chocolatier of the Year contests, visitors can also see some incredible chocolate sculptures that really need to be seen to be believed; sculpted items in the past have ranged from ancient Egyptian kingdoms and ornate castles to full-blown fashion shows complete with dresses and accessories made entirely of chocolate.
Visitors can also enrol on a chocolate cooking master class to hone their creative cooking skills. And for anyone that was starting to panic thinking it was all about looking and not eating the stuff, rest assured there are plenty of opportunities to buy tasty products ranging from handmade bonbons to huge bars of pure chocolate.
