Peniche - Silver Coast and Central Portugal informations

2008-04-19T11:00:00Z

Peniche, “capital of the wave”

The council of Peniche is known by it’s beautiful coast, which provides moments of beauty with the practice of the surf and body-board. Many national and international names of those modalities come to Peniche every year.

For that reason, Peniche is known internationally by the exceptional conditions for the practice of nautical sports. The presence of the sea makes Peniche being called as the “capital of the wave”.

Peniche was a place of some important national and international historical events, with a long and rich history, having been successively occupied buy people who lived from the fishing and agriculture. The craftmanship is present in day by day of the council.

About the historical patrimony, Peniche has the Fortress of Peniche, Fortress of “São João Baptista”, Fortress of “Consolação”, “Touril”, Fountain of “Rosário” and Grotto of “Furninha”.

The religious patrimony is constituted by São Pedro's Church, the most imposing church of the council, church of the Mercy, Sanctuary of “Nossa Senhora dos Remédios”, church of São Leonardo and the church of “Nossa Senhora da Conceição”.

One of the wonders of the council is the Berlenga’s island, a paradise for the dive appreciators. Their limpid waters enchant the visitors. The place has a high botanical interest, being point of passage for numerous migratory species. The Berlenga’s island is about seven miles from the Port of Peniche.

The night is also one of the high points of the council, with the presence of bars and discos.

The camping park is equally a place very interesting for the tourists.

For many years, the main economic activity of the council was the fishing, being the Port of Peniche one of the main portuguese fishing ports.

The “Freguesias” of Peniche are Ajuda, Atouguia da Baleia, Ferrel, São Pedro, Serra d'El-Rei e Conceição.

Castle of Óbidos, a wonder of Portugal

In Óbidos, we have one of the seven wonders of Portugal. The castle and their medieval lines count some part of Portugal’s history. Known by being the “Land of the Kings”, the council of Óbidos, that is about 80 kilometers from Lisbon city, is connected to the course of the foundation of the portuguese nation.

In 1148, Óbidos was taken from the Moors, by the first king of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques. Since then, that place was declared one of the jewels of the crown of Portugal, not only by it’s vast patrimony, but also by the existent cultural dynamism.

But the relevance of Óbidos is not only that. The council counts with a vast historical patrimony, with monuments and tourist attractions, like the Door of the Town, Door of the valley or “Nossa Senhora da Graça”, “Rua Direita”, Church of Santa Maria, Church of São Pedro, Church of São João Baptista, Chapel of São Martinho, Church of the Mercy, Pillory and “Telheiro”, Church of São Tiago, Small chapel of “Nossa Senhora do Carmo”, Small chapel of “Nossa Senhora de Monserrate”, besides the Aqueduct and of the Sanctuary of “Senhor Jesus da Pedra”.

But the main mark of that council is the castle of Roman origin. It was conquered by the Christians, in 1148. Along the times, the castle was repaired and enlarged several times. In the century XX, was in total ruin, having been recovered to install the Lodging that is the first one of the State in historical building.

Nowadays, Óbidos and it’s Castle are some of the seven wonders of Portugal.

Óbidos is also known by it’s cultural dynamism. Several events try to remember a little bit the past of that town, like the Medieval Market, Festival of Operates, International Festival of Chocolate, Óbidos Town Christmas and Week Saint. Those are the great events that attract about two million tourists per year to Óbidos.

For who appreciates golf, Óbidos is an excellence destiny. For 10 years ago, one of the best fields of 18 holes of Europe was built, recognized internationally. Nowadays, we have five new golf courses being built in the municipal district of Óbidos.

But if you prefer to visit the council in the summer, Óbidos still counts with the beaches of “Bom Sucesso”, “d´El Rei”, “Cortiço” and “Covões”. We also have the Óbidos Lagoon, one of the most visited points by the tourists.

The council of Óbidos has nine “freguesias”: A-dos-Negros, Amoreira, Gaeiras, São Pedro, Santa Maria, Olho Marinho, Usseira, Sobral da Lagoa e Vau.

The Óbidos village is known by being one of the biggest attractions of Portugal.

Alcobaça, a land with history

Alcobaça is one of the councils that compose the district of Leiria, in centre of Portugal. Located 42 meters of altitude, Alcobaça grew between the valleys of the rivers Alcoa and Baça. Now a days, Alcobaça counts with a population of more than 55 thousand inhabitants, distributed by 18 “freguesias”. The city of Alcobaça is about 109 km of the capital Lisbon, locating among three larger cities, Caldas da Rainha, Marinha Grande and Leiria.

One of the most important patrimonies of Alcobaça is the monastery or “Real Abadia de Santa Maria de Alcobaça”, founded in 1178 by the Order of Cister. Known as monastery of Alcobaça, that structure was classified by UNESCO in 1989 as "World Heritage”.

The mains products in Alcobaça are the apple Casa Nova, pear Rocha and the peach. The area still counts with a great gastronomic variety. There are also prominence for the beauty of the brickwork and ceramic, besides its crystal work. The council is also knows by its alimentary and textile industries.

The visitors may also dispose of beaches like “S. Martinho do Porto”, where is possible to practice nautical sports. The gold sand dunes of “Paredes da Vitória” and some other beaches are part of the historical “Pinhal of Leiria”, like the beaches of “Água de Medeiros”, “Falca”, “Gralha”, “Légua”, “Pedra de Ouro”, “Polvoeira”, “Vale Furado” and “Salgado”.

From the “Serra dos Candeeiros”, where repose the natural charms and small stone walls, there is also a splendorous view of the Alcobaça council. From there, is possible to see the natural beauties, besides the unique historical patrimonies.

For who wants to know a little bit more of the Alcobaça history, one of the alternatives is to visit the Monastery of Coz, where you will discover the beautiful Church and Coro, besides the historical town of Aljubarrota and the museums that preserve the vast history of the area, as the museum of the Wine, museum “Monográfico do Bárrio”, museum of “Atlantis”, museum “Raul da Bernarda and Filhos” and Agricultural museum.
