from the medieval walls of this town and at the same time experience
a true and unspoiled part of Portuguese history. Excellent for restaurant's
and traditional shops piled high with local handicrafts.The saltwater
Lagoon de Óbidos to the west is a popular lagoon for sailing
and fishing throughout the year.
  
PENICHE
The quaint fishing port of Peniche lies in the shelter of a great
headland on Portugal's rugged Atlantic coast and is just 20 minutes
from Praia Del Rey.
As late as the mid-16th century, the town was part of an 8-kilometre-wide
island, although an accumulation of sand gradually joined it to
the mainland to form the present peninsula.
Today, the town is most famous for its numerous fish restaurants,
which serve up some of the tastiest sardines in Portugal.
The Berlenga Islands are an hour's journey by boat from Peniche
and offer spectacular diving and views across the Atlantic
