SILVER COAST
Located between Lisbon and Oporto, with the country's largest motorway (the A1) crossing it in the north-south direction is Central Portugal and its Silver Coast . The mild temperatures and white sandy beaches offer one the choice between practising water sports and the calm life of the seaside.
The curative springs and the lush vegetation of secular forests have preserved all the rewards of their unspoilt nature. The monasteries, convents, castles, churches, and museums witness the priceless historic and artistic heritage of renowned universal value. As one of the most economically developed regions in the country, Costa de Prata is also home for famous traditional art treasures, such as its porcelain and crystal, as well as its gastronomy, strongly influenced by the sea and counterbalanced by its tasty Bairrada wines and mouth-watering sweets. In the fishing villages or urban historic centers, the kindness of the people is but another asset to add to this bountiful area's vast list of qualities.

| Peniche - The Peniche municipality is a zone of great natural beauty and an amazing landscape, with a vast patrimony, both cultural and religious. From the magnificent beaches of the entire coast, perfect to practicing water sports, to the majestic cultural patrimony, with outstanding blockhouses and religious monuments, Peniche presents a diversity of tourist resources including a rich and varied gastronomy with recipes of fish and shellfish, and a diversified craftwork, featuring the famous “Trimmed Lace.“
The Peniche Municipality offers several ways of lodging, from tourism units in the rural area to lodges, camping sites and modern hotels.
Nazaré - Possibly the most famous fishing town in Portugal, Nazaré is unique in many ways. It doesn’t contain the architectural treasures or grandiose monuments prevalent in other Portuguese towns, but it has an atmosphere of times gone by, contentment and traditions which continue to thrive, which make it a special place to visit
The wooden fishing boats still used today are colourful and narrow with curved prows and decoration evocative of the first fishermen of the area; the Phoenicians, who settled here in pre-Christian times. On some prows you’ll even still see a watchful eye painted – in theory to detect the two most important things to a fisherman; shoals and storms – and many dangle lamps for fishing after sunset.
