Description
The vicinity of Óbidos, Portugal has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic, and was an important settlement before the Romans established the civitas of Eburobrittium, a large urban area where the remains of a forum, baths and other Roman structures have been discovered.
This medieval village is a delight to wander, both inside the city walls and out. The bastions and crenellated walls look out over the peaceful valley of the Ria Arnoia. They surround a historic center with a labyrinth of cobblestoned streets and whitewashed houses brightened with flowers and vibrant outlines of yellow and blue paint.
While the main street can be incredibly touristy, the true joy of a visit to Óbidos is wandering its tiny alleys within and along its imposing walls.
