The fisherwomen, with their seven-layered skirts, wooden clogs and black headscarves, are the living embodiment of the past.  
   • Then, travel to Óbidos, a walled medieval town. With its narrow, winding streets and whitewashed houses decorated with flowers and historical monuments, Óbidos is like something out of a fairy tale. The locals have preserved every detail to celebrate Portuguese history and heritage.
