Description

Starting in the charming town of Cascais, we make our way along the stunning beaches of the Estoril coast, passing the Carcavelos sandy beach and the iconic São Julião da Barra Fort, that marks the entrance to the Tagus freshwater towards the Bugio lighthouse, the gateway to Lisbon. Also noteworthy along the route is the Santo António Fort in São João do Estoril, the holiday home of António Oliveira Salazar, the dictator who ruled the country from 1933 until the 1974 revolution and where he had an accident that precipitated his death. The tour ends with a circumnavigation of the Bugio lighthouse fortification, with a view of the famous red bridge over the Tagus, with clear similarities to the Alcatraz complex and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as they coincide in time. A palette of sensations and experiences, combining sea and river, picturesque and modern.
