Portugal - Peniche - 2005

This is a shot out through the channel leading to the sea-entrance.  It shows the walls of the fort, which also extend around the entire village.

Peniche is more of a residential town than, say, Nazare which also has a lot of tourism.  Peniche is known more for its surfing; and as an industrious fishing port.  They have a marvelous commercial harbor; home to a large modern fishing fleet.

We would drive, nightly, into Peniche for dinner as it had the best restaurants and return to our little paradise on Baleal for a gelato and drink on the porch.
A nice combination of places to visit and eat, and places to stay.
