about the place
Overlooking the Atlantic, where the coast of Peniche adorns itself with cliffs and wide horizons, Ferrel is a land of stubborn and hardworking people, who knew how to assert their own identity between the sea and the land, between the nets and the vegetable gardens. It keeps a treasure of ancient soul in the Capela de Ferrel, also known as the Capela de Nossa Senhora da Guia, and traditions as vibrant as the celebrated donkey race, which delights children and adults alike. At the table, fresh fish stew with vegetables from the local gardens reigns supreme, in a happy meeting of land and sea. A land of faith, festivity and fine flavours, Ferrel wins hearts without fanfare — and those who pass through here can hardly leave without wanting to return.
