Pérola da Lagoa Residents' Association

Representing and protecting the collective interests of PDL

About the Association

The decision to form an association was as a result of meetings with the Câmara de Óbidos and the Freguesia of Vau and their suggestion that we consolidate into a legal entity that would carry with it certain advantages and obligations. Acting on this advice, we have formed and registered our community as a non-profit association called the ‘Associação de Moradores da Pérola da Lagoa, Óbidos', with a committee consisting of 12 residents.

We recently moved to Pérola da Lagoa and it was great to be welcomed into the area by Jeff and the association. It's reassuring that there's a group looking out for the interests of the community and a place where we can communicate with neighbors about things which affect us all.
