Story:
This was my fourth walking trip, being the last of the series pretended to connect all the Linha de Cascais coast. Set on rainy day, on June 10th, national holiday, I've taken this walking through heteregenous terrains: the coast is almost rocky with some little beach, being the Carcavelos beach the greatest of them. In Estoril area, one of the expensive areas of Portugal (it reminds a little of Montecarlo, in Monaco), there are no "normal" houses: only big and more biggest houses ;). Arriving at Cascais city, there numerous little beaches here: some five or six before reaching the end of my journey, at Cascais Marina.
Tips:
These walking have taken place near the bay known at Baía de Cascais, also known as Estoril (you should remember, there's a known casino with this name). This was one the favourite summer holidays place (Cascais) of many royal houses in Europe. The king Juan Carlos of Spain have lived here in his childhood. One way or another, you will have no need to spend your money to do this nice walking trip :) . The Juliao da Barra fortress (the most important in the Linha de Cascais defensive line), officialy at the mouth point of Tagus River. These are one of the most expensive areas in the portuguese coast, but there are no private beaches, as I know of :) . One way or another, there's many walking pathways in Oeiras, Estoril and Cascais where can go directly ahead the sea. At the end of the trip, you can rest at the Cascais Marina, a formidable place .
