Another sunny warm day, so we decided to visit Peniche, on a headland jutting out into the Atlantic.

The drive took us through the village of Atouguia de Baleia, where in the square we saw this 16th century church.

Then it was on to our destination, the walled village of Peniche jutting out into the Atlantic.

One resident was barbecuing chicken, not fish.

After we returned to Gracieira and Casa Vinhedo, where we've been staying for the last few days, I went for an exploratory stroll.

These are three photos I made on that walk.
