Hello guys again!
Today we are visiting Silver Coast and one of it's cities - Peniche🇵🇹 I think this place is real gem of Portugal. Stay tuned and here is little info about the place:
Peniche is a Portuguese city in the district of Leiria, located in the province of Estremadura with 13,212 inhabitants and Peniche is also municipality with an area of 77.55 km² and 26,431 inhabitants. The municipality borders to the east with Óbidos to the south by Lourinhã and to the west and north by Atlantic Ocean. From Lisbon about 1 hour ride - toll roads, and about 2 hours toll free roads(100km).
Peniche is westernmost city in Continental Europe and part of it is located on a peninsula.
The westernmost point of the Peniche is Cabo Carvoeiro and to the west of Cabo Carvoeiro there are Berlengas islands.
I will go there next week. For me it is really interesting to see these islands, but you know before that I need confirmation for drone.
The municipality of Peniche has a long and rich history. In here lived people whos main activity type was fishing and agriculture.
In the surrounding areas of the municipality, the cultivation of the land predominated. The soil of the outlying villages is particularly fertile, while on the peninsula it is sandy and not very good for the cultivation of vegetables, although it allowed the planting of certain fruit trees, in particular fig trees, which produced small sweet figs. On the south coast, near Cabo Carvoeiro, there were small farms with stone walls where white grape vines were grown, from which an excellent wine was extracted. The writer José Cardoso Pires considered the white wine from Peniche the best in Portugal.
Back in a day Peniche was facing frequent attacks by pirates just like Nazare.
Ok, so you came to peniche what to do here:
Here is interesting place cave Furninha or Cova de Dominique.
It is located on the edge of the cliffs between Forte de Peniche and Cabo Carvoeiro , facing the sea.
This cave reveals traces of human presence since the time of Neanderthal Man (about 30,000 years ago).
Portugal again surprises me with all history, because it is amazing if you think back like 30000 years ago, somebody was doing something here.
The city of Peniche is known internationally for the exceptional conditions it has for practice of watersports- surfing, diving. And you will see lot of places just for that.
One of the regional highlights as I mentioned before are the Berlengas islands, Portugal’s oldest nature reserve. The islands can be explored as a day trip from Peniche, with tour boats departing from the harbour. I will take you there, promise. Next week. Subscribe so you dont miss it. 😉👍
Before heading to the beach, you must visit Peniche historic centre. Really quite and relaxing feeling. Some restaurants, not crazy lot, but you will not stay hungry and it’s only natural that the sea dominates the local cuisine, so we are looking for charcoal-grilled sardines and always accompanied by the Western region’s wines.
Also in center you will see fort and Marina Peniche.
The sea is still one of the main points of interest, and the beaches at Peniche are much appreciated. Lot of beautiful and long beaches for long walks, sunsets and swimming.
Also check out Baleal island. Amazing place.👌
So you want to move here, I checked online about real estate, actually quite affordable.
I applied my standart filters 2-3 bedroms, 1-2 bathrooms new or good condition. So average price came up at 2100€ per square meter and its a good price for prices in Portugal today.
So guys please enjoy and subscribe for more Portugal!
Tchau!!!
