Enjoy your vacation on the beautiful beach in the capital Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, is a city steeped in history and a pleasant climate, a more colorful than glad to sad and so much to see, do and know. Its privileged location beside the Atlantic Ocean, however, also endowed with beautiful beaches.
Lisbon Area is known for its beautiful beaches, white sand, large areas and cool ocean waters at this point, and the influence of the seas and rivers in the area, have a beautiful blue-green.
To the west of the city of Lisbon, and were still part of the District of Lisbon is the coastal area around the city, known as the Costa de Estoril-Sintra, ranging from Caravels, Lisbon 15 km to Grinch area.
The two main resorts in this area are Escorial with its famous casino – and Cassias, capital of the homonymous municipality do Cassias, one of the richest in Portugal. The town of Cassias is located 30 kilometers from Lisbon and has about 35.000 inhabitants. This former fishing village is famous for being the summer residence of the Portuguese Royal Family in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century’s. Its small marble streets are lined with shops and restaurants, plus old-style houses.
Before visiting Grinch Cassias, just 5 miles to the east. With scenic gorges and intense northerly winds that produce a heavy swell, this is the favorite beach for those who like surfing, especially in the ways kite surfing and windsurfing. This is also the place to find a surf school and surf camp in Portugal.
A little further north and inland, is Sinatra, historic town in the municipality of the same name we visited the next day. Heritage of UNESCO, Sinatra is famous for the variety of romantic architecture found there. We visited there Vila Palace or Palace, royal residence that was between the ages of 15 and 19 quite often, well known for work on the interiors of their roofs. The entrance fee is € 7.
After a brief tour through the narrow streets and small shops of the town, we tested the travesseiros; typical cakes are eaten in Piriquita pastry of flaky pastry and creamy filling. We passed the Quinta ad Regalia-of exaggerated romantic architecture, built by billionaire Montero and visited later, the luxury hotel which is now in the neoclassical building formerly known as the Palace Setae’s. Built in the late eighteenth century, the palace was added a bow in 1802 on the occasion of the visit of Prince Regent John VI and Princess Charlotte.
We did not visit the National Palace of Pena, built on top of the hill and used, even today, for meetings of the current President of the Republic of Portugal. Instead, we prefer to fetch the car and finish the evening in Praia Grande, a beautiful beach located just 10 minutes from Sinatra and the Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais. The Electric do Banal serves this beach from the town of Sinatra, making a nice walk between trees.
Thus ended the visit to Sinatra, and so ended the tour around Lisbon, a city as picturesque as multifaceted, and has beautiful surroundings to enjoy your trip to Portugal.
