A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
When affluent residents of Lisbon seek a refreshing escape during summer, they often travel west to Cascais, located at the upper reaches of the Tagus Estuary. In this coastal haven, visitors can enjoy the clear waters at serene coves or tackle the vigorous Atlantic waves of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park on a surfboard.
I had long been captivated by the notion of visiting Sintra. The imagery portrayed it as a magical destination, prompting us to arrange flights a couple of months after this fascination began and embark on a journey to Portugal.
We have just returned from Portugal, where we spent several days in Cascais and Sintra.
