This trip takes you to:
Picturesquely draped across sandstone cliffs above the blue Atlantic, sunny, whitewashed Ericeira is popular with lisboêtas seeking a quick weekend getaway. It’s equally renowned for spectacular ocean vistas and excellent seafood restaurants, and is a mecca for surfers, who come here for the great waves and camaraderie (it is in fact a Save the Waves Coalition World Surfing Reserve). The town’s old centre is clustered around Praça da República, with the sprawl of newer development spreading south and north.

*Just a short distance from Praia de Norte and Praia dos Pescadores beaches, Selina Boa Vista Ericeira has become a trendy hotspot for locals and travelers alike. Inspired by Californian beach house design, features include a rooftop patio, restaurant, outdoor pool, bar, and a cinema room. Wake up early and head to the beach where you’ll find groups of Lisboêtas (Lisbon’s city breakers), fishermen, and international yogis stretching out to gorgeous sea views. Join wine tasting tours, go rock-climbing in Sintras-Cascais Natural Park, visit Algarve’s sea caves, or spend the day catching waves at World Surf Reserve 'Pedra Blanca'. Take a walking tour to Praca da Republica before picking up fresh veg from the market next door and preparing lunch in our communal kitchen. Don’t want to cook? Grab a portion of ‘ouriços’ (sea urchins), Ericeira’s regional delicacy and eat them like a local- fresh with a spoon!

Popular for its long, fabulous town beach, nearby surf strands and also as a jumping-off point for the beautiful Ilhas Berlengas nature reserve, Peniche is spectacularly set on a headland surrounded by sea. It remains a working port, giving it a slightly grittier, more ‘lived in’ feel than its resort neighbours. The seaside fort where Salazar’s regime detained political prisoners is a must-see for anyone interested in Portuguese history; artisan lovers will enjoy Peniche's speciality, handmade lace known as Renda de Bilros (bobbin lace), and you can watch the nimble fingers of women at work; and outdoors enthusiasts will love the beaches and the spectacular, heavily eroded limestone cliffs that jut out from the tip of the headland at Cabo Carvoeiro like a jagged jigsaw piece timelessly waiting for a never-to-come unification.
