Guincho Beach is one of the greatest beaches in Cascais municipality and also one of the most beautiful, with wild dunes and an untamed sea, and it's surrounded by the magnificent Sintra Mountain. How about a superb lunch with sea flavor and a stunning ocean view?
Cascais was the summer residence of the Portuguese royalty and aristocracy in the 19th century and the place of exile of the European monarchy during the Second World War. This fishing village became a cosmopolitan seaside resort, considered the Portuguese Riviera, with sumptuous mansions.
Estoril has long welcomed international visitors, and during World War II, it acquired a glamorous reputation when Portugal's neutrality and mild weather attracted the rich and famous, German and English spies, and European royals and aristocrats. The town is still a fashionable cosmopolitan destination with Europe's largest casino.
