Óbidos - Narrow cobbled streets

by salinhopt - last update: Sep 23, 2003

When strolling along the maze of narrow cobbled streets od Obidos, at each step, one comes upon vestiges of different civilizations.
From the hidden corner and high walled gardens of the old medina area to the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque features, the town is an extensive work of art carved, destroyed, and rebuilt throughout the centuries.
Besides its material heritage of the past, Obidos, a meltering pot of historical traditions, is, still today, one of the main jewels of the century.

 Obidos is so slow, so charming, so restful. You've captured it well with great photos showing all the beautiful details.
