Arrive in Lisbon and go straight to the bus station from where we take a bus (about 1.5 hours drive) to the town of Peniche and then a short drive to the town of Baleal where we spend the whole week. 

On arrival we will settle in, grab a bite to eat and take a walk around the area. In the evening we'll go to one of the local bars for a few drinks to get acquainted. 

We have a week full of surfing, yoga, surf scat and relaxation. We'll be in the ocean for a few hours each day, working on theory, developing technique, stretching tight muscles and definitely talking about surfing all the time. We'll also find time to relax on the beach, take walks around the neighborhood, and eat good food. 

We'll adjust our surf times to the wave conditions and the time we go to the amazing Alma studio for yoga accordingly.

Today we are going to have a surfing lesson and surf skating lesson - we are going to practice our technique on land and understand better the movement in the water. In the evening, we'll throw some goodies on the grill or go out for a meal at one of the local restaurants. 

Depending on conditions, we will go raw (morning or afternoon) and yoga. In the evening, we will take a ride to a picturesque village on an island where we will have dinner at one of the local restaurants and taste sangria or the famous Portuguese wine. 

We will visit the place with the biggest waves in Europe. Don't worry, we won't surf them, but if we are lucky we will see some really big waves. We will look at Sitio, which  is a historic part of town on top of a cliff that offers spectacular views of the ocean and the city below. There is the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré, which is just beautiful. We take a cable car ride up to the top, which gives us beautiful views. Nazaré is famous for its excellent seafood cuisine. Fresh fish and seafood are a staple of the local cuisine. A typical dish is, for example, the "caldeirada", a fish stew that can be enjoyed in one of the local restaurants. 

Next day, another surfing and surf skating lesson - we will be experienced already 🏄 In the evening we will go to taste the nightlife that happens here on the street. There might even be some dancing, but watch out for hangovers, we're going surfing the next day!

Depending on conditions, we will go surfing and do some yoga (wishing the waves were in the afternoon so we could sleep in after the previous party). Activity possible, but I see it more like relaxing on the beach. 

Last day of surfing and yoga stretches, so we're going all out! In the evening we'll have a sunset walk on the cliffs. We'll take a beer with us and enjoy the  beautiful scenery.

A final surf session and appreciation of all we've learned. We'll give it our all and maybe come up with something original. Like surfing in "what house next" costumes or going surfing without a wetsuit 😁. 

Towards the evening we will move to Lisbon where we have accommodation near the airport, as we have an early flight.

Farewell, exchange of contacts, photos and maybe a few tears and departure
