Why this trip
Where Europe ends, the Atlantic begins: west of Lisbon lies Cascais, and the coast around the town has natural park status. The Sintra-Cascais Natural Park stretches from cliffs by the sea to forested hills, with paths that lead to the Boca do Inferno, a rocky chasm into which the waves thunder. Cycle paths link Cascais with Guincho and Estoril, and the wind makes the coast a destination for surfers and kitesurfers. If you bring more fitness, hike into the hills near Sintra.
Golf courses such as Oitavos Dunes and Estoril Golf Club complete the offer for everyone who combines sport with comfort. From the bay you can cycle along the coast to Guincho, where the Atlantic is open and windy. Surfing and kiting are sport here, hiking on the cliffs a calmer variant. The way is flat, but the wind demands strength and warm clothing.
March to June and September to October offer mild weather, without the heat of summer. Lisbon, Portimão and Porto are neighbours for a larger Portugal trip. How much distance and which activity should shape your days is something you discuss in the video call.
