Sandy Beaches & Old Town On Portugal’s Coast - Cascais

Cascais is a coastal resort town in Portugal, just west of Lisbon. It is know for its sandy beaches, busy marina, historic mansions and beautiful views. Walking the beautiful lanes, narrow streets and wide promenade of the picturesque old town gives you a real feel for the charming town. I was told that Cascais is where Portuguese Royalty used to vacation and it is steeped in history.

Here is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!
