Long ago Baleal was an island. An isthm of sand increased throughout the centuries, until it became a peninsula of Peniche, which had also been an island, until an isthm of sand definitely connected it to the mainland. We can see remains of the Frenchmen's Fortlet and part of the outer islet. HFW!

Displayed in the Bobbin Lace Museum, at Marquês de Pombal Street, Peniche. One characteristic of the bobbin lace of Peniche is that there is no front or back side: it looks exactly the same if you turn around one of these products.
