David Letts > Photograph taken in Obidos, Portugal.

This is the third photograph taken "Off the beaten path" in Obidos. While the majority of tourists just walk the main street, I like to explore the side streets. During this vist, I had the side streets all to myself - what a great thing...

Obidos was founded before Christ by the Trudels and Celts, who fortified and surrounded the town with walls. When the Romans gained control, they gave the town the name of Opidum or Obidos which means "Fortified town".

Obidos is a marvel unique in this world.

Obidos is a picture-postcard town, flower-covered balconies, whitewashed houses, roofs of orange tiles and narrow cobblestone streets -- all surrounded by Moorish walls and dominated by an old castle. This tiny walled town has hardly changed at all since the middle ages. It started its existence as a fortress on the sea but the bay silted up leaving the town without a purpose. In 1228 King Dinis paused at Óbidos. His wife so admired the charm of the town, he gave it to her as a present.
