Every year Portugal welcomes the International Chocolate Festival! It takes place in the beautiful medieval town of Óbidos and usually attracts lots of people to this picturesque small town. This year’s edition was dedicated to Disney as the festival joined the commemorations of Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary. Chocolate was, of course, the main guest of the festival and did, as always, a splendid job by pleasing adults and children. Here you’ve got some pictures of the absolutely amazing chocolate sculptures we were able to admire:

Todos os anos, Portugal acolhe o Festival Internacional do Chocolate! Este, tem lugar na bonita vila medieval de Óbidos e, normalmente, atrai muitas pessoas para esta pitoresca vila. A edição deste ano foi dedicada à Disney uma vez que o festival se juntou às comemorações do 20º aniversário da Disneyland Paris. O Chocolate foi, naturalmente, o convidado principal do festival e fez, como sempre, um explendido trabalho ao agradar adultos e crianças. Aqui ficam algumas fotos das esculturas de chocolate absolutamente incríveis que foi possivel admirar:

how on earth do they stop the chocolate from melting?
It’s a “special” chocolate so that it won’t melt so easily… And the temperatures weren’t that high inside the room

As much as I love chocolate I don’t think I could eat one of these wonderful sculptures. thanks for sharing. photos are excellent
This is my kind of festival. yumm.

The Location is Amazing… Reminds me of this Old Large Home that my Theater Group many years ago Performed in… What a Lovely Place for like a Medieval Fare or something…
The Chocolate Exhibits are Lovely, I want to break off a wheel from the Red Car, and stick it in my Freezer, Hee Hee… Then eat little pieces of it once in a while
Have you ever put M & M’s in The Freezer?? They taste Awesome
Lovely Post Ana

You won’t Regret it, Hee Hee

Chocolate – now we’re talking! I hope one benefit of photographing such an event is a chance to share in the tasting later.
I totally had the chance to taste some chocolate
I guess it was the main point of the trip 
Amazing what you can do with CHOCOLATE and it is good to eat too!
Ana, mas que lindo! E aposto que muito gostoso também…;)
Wonderful scenes Ana. Hard to believe it’s all chocolate.
You’re right it’s not easy to believe these pieces of art are all chocolate
Chocolate festivals … ahhhhh. Have you ever been to the one in Perugia, Italy? I could so eat the wheels off that car.
No I haven’t, but I’d like to
