Photos taken by Sailor Girl at Cascais of a beautiful building right in front of the sea (the same in the pictures posted on March 13th). Cascais is a coastal village 30 kilometres west of Lisbon, and one of its municipalities. It is also one of the richest municipalities in Portugal. The former fishing village gained fame as a resort for Portugal's Royal Family in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Nowadays it is a popular vacation spot for both Portuguese and foreign tourists. I will soon post more photos with some facts about this beautiful spot, under the label «Cascais».

Praia da Rainha - Beach of the Queen

The same beach, from another perspective. The coffee at the train station costs € 0,55. At this place (some meters away from the station) it costs € 0,90. I wonder why... Anyway, it's worth the price!...

This morning the Sea looked wonderful!

Walking from home to the train station taking us from Cascais to Cais-do-Sodré (a 40 minutes beautiful trip along the seashore and then the Tagus), I made a small detour for coffee at the beach. Ah... It felt splendid! It's warmer now and the days are getting longer and the light is fantastic! Watching the ship at Cascais Bay, I felt «land-sick». How I wish I were a fisherman, or a tug driver... I took several other photos I will be posting during today and tomorrow. Today is Thursday and tomorrow, well, Tomorrow Thank God it will be Friday!!!
