Penela is a beautiful historic market town with all of the modern facilities you would expect from a larger town. The council has been quick to improve the lives of residents and those in surrounding villages who rely on the town for health and education. Penela features supermarkets, a post office and modern hospital & health centre with English speaking staff. There are also at least two modern dental practises, again with English speaking staff. Schooling is available from crèche until technical college. Surprising to most ex-pats is the wide range of out of school activities held in the area. Within and immediately around Penela there are also several traditional restaurants each serving their speciality version of Portuguese classics and home grown wine. The Portugal of old that we all love still exists - bread delivery vans still deliver bread to your door each day; as well as the luxury of some bread and cheese in your neighbours wine cellar (adega).
The nearest weekly market is held every Thursday in the town. On market day this sleepy town experiences a little hustle and bustle. Residents from outlaying villages arrive to sell their garden grown vegetables, self-raised meat produce and fish and the general ambience is one of meeting friends, having a chat and getting the week's essentials. Everything you can think of is on sale here, including the occasional live chicken or goat!
The best time to pop in to the market is between ten or eleven in the morning, when the best produce is still available and fresh.
The roads in the immediate area are all of tarmac or, in some cases, maintained stone track. Any car would be comfortable driving throughout this area.
Penela is a beautiful cared for village community located in the centre of the region. It plays host to many traditional festas throughout the year and also appeared in the Guinness Book of records as the place where the largest game of cards is held every year! The council are also keen to encourage development, and have built swimming pools, cinemas, libraries and internet cafes within their jurisdiction. Penela is an area surrounded by Roman ruins and historic castles, which are some of the most beautiful, historic and well preserved in Iberia. The town itself was established as long ago as 1137. The medieval part of Penela deserves a visit: among the houses you can wander through the Manueline style pillory, the Renaissance Church of Stª Eufémia and the beautiful Misericordia Square and church.
The historic city of Coimbra is 37km away - 45 minutes, whilst the beaches of Figueira da Foz are a quick hop down the motorway, being 81km away and roughly 1 hour 15 minutes.
Porto Airport is 160km away, an estimated journey time of 2 hours. Lisbon Airport is 207km an estimated journey time of 2 hours 25 minutes.
