Peniche & Berlenga Island, Portugal - Foodie Travel Guide

Peniche is the westernmost city on continental Europe, and you can feel it! Cape Carvoeiro, with its volcanic rock formations and ancient caves occupied by Neanderthals, juts out into the Atlantic. Unique Miradouros (viewpoints) point towards Berlenga, an island featuring a fort that could be right out of Game of Thrones!

Foodie travel writer Brent Petersen shares all the great things to in Peniche and Berlenga, including the sobering Museum of the Resistance where political prisoners were held during the dark Fascist times of 20th century Portugal.
He also offers up the best foodie treats including a chocolate honoring Peniche’s lace making tradition. Then there’s the oceanside beach bars, blistered padron peppers, and good Indian food!
