Obidos
Obidos is an old walled town dating back to Roman times. The castle was originally built in the 8th century by the Moors and then taken back in the 12th century during the reconquest. The walled town is small and it's possible to walk almost all of the way around it on top of the wall. (This is also kind of exciting for those of us with vertigo as it is narrow in spots and there are no railings.) We spent an entire day walking up and down all the little streets and exploring.
