Begin your day in the enchanting medieval village of Óbidos, just an hour from Lisbon. Walk through the Porta da Vila, the ornate entrance to the walled town. Wander the labyrinthine lanes adorned with whitewashed houses, vibrant bougainvillea, and hand-painted azulejos.

Stop by boutique shops for local crafts or a traditional cerâmica souvenir. Climb the walls of the Castle of Óbidos for panoramic views of the rolling countryside. Learn its history as a wedding gift to queens of Portugal.

No visit is complete without a taste of Ginja d'Óbidos, a cherry liqueur served in a chocolate cup. Enjoy it like a local from one of the tiny stalls in the main square. Relish traditional dishes like caldeirada (seafood stew) at a cozy terrace restaurant overlooking the town's terracotta rooftops.

Drive to Peniche, a traditional fishing town known for its rugged coastline and rich maritime culture. Witness the lively hustle of fishermen at the port and the colorful boats bobbing in the water.

Dive into history with a visit to the Fortaleza de Peniche, a historic fortress that served as a political prison during Portugal's dictatorship era. The on-site museum offers powerful insights. Stop at the Cabo Carvoeiro lighthouse for sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the distant Berlengas Islands, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Indulge in freshly baked pastéis de Peniche or bolas de Berlim from a local bakery. Head to the world-famous Supertubos Beach, a paradise for surfers. Take a leisurely walk, or simply relax on the golden sands as the sun dips toward the horizon.

End your day at a local marisqueira (seafood restaurant). Feast on arroz de marisco (seafood rice) or grilled sardines, paired with a crisp vinho verde.
