Other areas within the Oeste region include:

Berlenga Islands

The Berlenga Islands are situated 12Km from Cape Carvoeiro in
a small archipelago called the Berlengas. Berlenga Island itself,
filled with mystery and beauty, is a nature reserve for the
nesting of various species of birds and the preservation of
various reptiles and other animals. You will also find there
typical plants and flowers endemic to Portugal . Laced with grottoes and coves, the Berlenga Islands
are an hour's journey by boat from Peniche. It also has a 17th-century fort. The island is famous for
its number of diving locations.

Caldas Da Rainha

The Estremadura on the lower half of the Costa De Lisboa (Lisbon Coast), is the alternative Algarve in every sense of the word. Discerning visitors who were familiar with the Algarve twenty years ago will find much that is familiar here. Sixty miles north of Lisbon is an area totally unspoiled, which boasts quite an extraordinary wealth of architecture and fascinating towns. The beaches equal any in
the Algarve, and the countryside is open and undeveloped with fertile rolling hills just as beautiful as the famous Minho ranges.

Obidos

Once the wedding present of a queen, the preserved medieval town of Óbidos lying 100 km north of Lisbon is without doubt one of Portugal's most classic walled settlements. Walking the ramparts, visitors can enjoy views of windmills, vineyards, and surrounding farmlands. In the residential area below, narrow cobblestone streets are lined with whitewashed houses sporting terracotta roofs. The shops are piled high with local handicrafts, while in spring the town is ablaze with geraniums, morning glories and bougainvilleas. Obidos is famous for being the site where the 10-year-old Afonso V married his cousin aged 8, the Church of Santa Maria also boasts exquisite 17th-century tiles and a fine Renaissance tomb.

Peniche

Partly enclosed by 16th-century walls, Peniche is almost entirely dependent on the sea. It’s fishing industry and port, fishermen, trawlers, and seagulls mark the atmosphere of this town, with its whitewashed houses and narrow streets. No wonder it has excellent fish restaurants, also specializing in seafood and shellfish dishes, and that it affords the visitor facilities for deep-sea fishing.
Tourists are also curious to visit the Fortaleza, a 16th-century fortress, overlooking the sea, that was used as a prison during the repressive former regime that ended in 1974.

Silver Coast Properties

Portugal has a population of 10.5 Million people and is the country Britain enjoys its oldest alliance with dating back to the late 1300’s.
Stretching from Lisbon to Fiqueira da Foz, Portugal’s Silver Coast is a largely undiscovered stretch of beautiful coastline which gets its name from the effect of the sun on the waves of the Atlantic .

Unlike the more famous Algarve coast in the south of the country on the Silver Coast you will discover pretty villages and the real Portuguese way of life with stunning coastal scenery and the best beaches in Europe. Much of this area of Portugal remains undiscovered by mass tourism so you can guarantee a beach to yourself even in the height of the Summer.

The Praia d’el Rey championship golf course and its resort sit amid the ancient, picturesque charm of medieval Óbidos whilst Hotels at Foz do Arelho offer access to the beauty of the Óbidos lagoon and the lively bars and restaurants nearby.

Lisbon is 1 hour by car or train and not to be missed. It is a beautiful city with a much deserved reputation for the warmth of its people and is recognised as one of the most cultural, sophisticated capital cities in Western Europe.
Thousands of Lisbon inhabitants have second home properties on the Silver Coast and it is testament to the beauty of the area.

Like most of Portugal the Silver Coast is made up mainly of small towns and villages; 3 million of Portugal’s population are in the two major cities of Lisbon and Porto with the rest spread across the country.

Visits to the fascinating towns and villages of the Silver Coast are mainly on empty roads and offer rich rewards. Fátima is an easy drive as are Alcobaça and Tomar. Eating out on the Silver Coast is both cheap and a pleasurable experience ; there are top-class restaurants to try as well as very reasonable restaurants. Fresh sea-food is a speciality and can be enjoyed with a chilled bottle of white from the Silver Coast region.
