fortification Peniche talks about its strategic importance throughout history since Roman times is mentioned in a battle that pitted Julio Cesar with a Lusitanian refugees at the former island of Peniche. This importance becomes even greater with the union of the island to the mainland by a line of dunes in the fifteenth century is one of the largest ports in the country. In the mid-sixteenth century began the work of fortification by building called circular bastion, in order to avoid the constant attacks by North African pirates. In more recent times the fort served as the internment of political prisoners of the dictatorship of Salazar in the years 1934-1974 and the subject of one of the most talked about leaks, when the Communist Alvaro Cunhal and ten other companions managed to climb down by the cliff and reach the swimming beach. Today the fort serves as the headquarters of Peniche Municipal Museum.

Peniche. Walking along the cliffs.
One of the biggest attractions of the peninsula of Peniche are cliffs, it is best to use the road that surrounds it and go, stopping at the many viewpoints or marked fishing areas. Our journey began in the north in the peninsula of Papo and ended in the most western Cape Carboeiro. By the way you can stop to buy good fish and seafood in one of the industrial area stores.

Berlengas Islands. Portugal
Back in the Old heat press and decided to escape to the coast of Portugal, this time the target is heavily fortified peninsula Peniche one of the central region. One of the most interesting options in this area is to visit the island Berlenga , protected shelter many birds. The trip from Peniche is just over half an hour but the output against the waves and the small boat taking panzazo makes it heavier.
on one of the islands near the island rises Berlenga Fort San Juan Bautista, 1502, which makes us think about the strategic importance of the area is now a hostel along with a camping area represent the only place overnight.
acknowledge that I have never liked the seagulls and tour the island surrounded by hundreds of them it was an idea that was very pleasing, but suddenly I found myself smiling, I could not believe, their croaks like me laughing were infected. And I was, during the three hours I walked touring the island, with a smile that at times turned into laughter, and I can assure you I did not take anything "weird." According
already have in 1465 King Alfonso V of Portugal prohibited the hunting in this place, so it is considered the first nature reserve in the world, today many sea birds nest here which led to its protection as a nature reserve in 1981.
