and is decorated throughout with traditional Portuguese tiles and on its façade with hand-painted tiles.

Estoril, with its Mediterranean vegetation, which flowers twice a year, thanks to the mild climate, is a year-round resort, offering a varied sports calendar throughout the year and in summer a craft fair, open-air exhibitions and a music festival.

Estoril is a sophisticated resort with palm-lined avenues and the largest Casino in Europe, which offers a spectacular range of international shows.

Cascais, 3 kms away, is a good shopping centre and has regular summer concerts and festivities. Here the fishermen still go out daily and in the evening you can accompany the fish auction. A promenade, along the sea front, links Estoril and Cascais.
