Obidos is one of the most charming towns I have ever been to and I could have daydreams of myself living there for a month… spending my afternoons hanging laundry on my clothesline while talking to the local elderly ladies and gossiping about the town. When my mind starts drifting, I imagine living in a small town like this where everyone knows each other and old traditions are used today. Need more proof that this town is amazing? Consider this: In the 13th century, Queen Isabel visited this town and fell so in love with it that her husband, King Denis I, gave it to her. That’s right…he gave her the actual town. (Good luck topping that gift Buddy!) Although it is good for a day trip, there is nothing like being here after the crowds have left. That’s when the magic happens.Â
