ABOUT CASCAIS
Located 30km west of Lisbon, Cascais is a historic and cosmopolitan seaside resort on the edge of the Tagus estuary, between the Sintra mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.
In Cascais, the relationship with the sea is intense and permanent. Sailing is part of the tradition and the scenery is perfect. The wind conditions are well-known and Cascais has proven over the years to be one of the best spots for yacht racing in Europe.
