One small town we have been a few times before in Portugal over the 30 years is Peniche - a small fishing village north of Lisbon. It’s a perfect place for an apartment directly at the ocean and a few relaxing days towards the end of the vacation. Here you walk around town for dinner, pick a restaurant and see if they have some tables. When we walked into D’Raiz https://draiz7.webnode.pt/ they had a big party of 25-30 locals having fun and original thought they couldn’t fit us in but after some consideration they squeezed us in and we had a nice dinner of classical dishes
