Peniche Harbour

Peniche is known as Portugal's sardine capital and its many good seafood restaurants often grill these fish fresh from the ocean. The small harbour at Peniche reflects its long marriage with the sea, it is full of boats of all descriptions. It was a fine sunny day when we were there and, after our days activities, it was nice to take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront before we went for dinner.
