Although we woke up quite late (10:30 am) we were happy because the weather had finally improved, it hurts that it is just when our vacation is nearing its end.
Today we have the hotel booked in Peniche, so the idea is to stop at the beaches that are on the way to Peniche.
The first was Praia Cerca Nova, but since it was so good, we decided spend quite a few hours in this beach. This beach, along with Amado and Odeceixe were our favorites of the trip.

Around 2:00 pm we went to Praia Morgavel to eat something, to then stopped near Praia São Torpes for a while, in Praia da Vieirinha-Vale, where Francisco could surf for a while.

We arrived almost at night to Peniche, we did check-in at our hotel, which looked more like an airbnb, and went to have some dinner at Avenida do Mar.
Peniche is a bigger city, with more tourism, all very related to surfing. We were definitely happier because the weather was a lot better but we would have loved this climate with the alentejo charm. I guess we´ll have to give Alentejo another chance.
