Title: Óbidos and Peniche: Two different towns in Portugal
Summary of Episode
We take an inside look at Óbidos and Peniche, two lovely villages on the Silver Coast in Portugal.
Óbidos is a lovely medieval village about an hour north of Lisbon. It has great festivals, shops, and medieval charm. Make sure you try the ginja!
Peniche is a fishing village on the coast, also about an hour north of Lisbon, but with a much different feel than Óbidos. The beaches in this area are incredible, as well as the cliff views.
For those who enjoy resorts, this area boasts 4 golf courses and resorts: Praia del Rey, Royal Óbidos, West Cliffs, and Bom Successo.
