Best regards,

I've holidayed in the silver coast area to the north of Peniche, the scenery is superb, the locals are great and the beer cheap, can't recommend it enough.

Sadly the car hire firms don't like you to go offroading in there Citroen C1 rentaboxes so a lot of the areas in the OP's galleries are off limits.

Next time I go though I am going to drive up the Duro valley (thats where the grapes for Port wine are grown) and visit Porto and some of the great port houses.
