Óbidos

An early morning stroll, while the rest of the family were still abed, offered an opportunity to take some snapshots of this charming walled town which, as with many others of its kind, has been designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Then in the busy evenings during the height of the month-long festa called 'Vila Natal', when the entire town is ringed by lights along its walls, and the narrow streets are filled with holidaymakers, and clowns and mimes entertain the crowds of children brought there by their parents, Obidos transforms itself into a fairytale place.
