Why Obidos matters
Obidos is a postcard village inside medieval walls. Whitewashed houses are trimmed with blue and yellow, bougainvillea spills over doorways, and the main street leads to a castle at the top. Locals sell ginja, a sour-cherry liqueur served in a little chocolate cup. Arrive early or late to avoid tour groups, and walk the top of the walls for views.
Talking points
- You can walk along the top of the walls.
