페니셰

On a rocky peninsula on the Atlantic coast, Peniche is a town of fishermen, surfers and old fortifications. Its harbour still lands fish every day, its waves draw surfers from around the world, and the Berlengas islands lie just offshore.

역사와 정체성

Peniche was an island until the sixteenth century, when the sandbar that now links it to the mainland began to form. Its fortress, built on the headland, served for decades as a political prison, and its fishing community has shaped the town’s character for centuries.
