The Serra de Sintra: Wild coastal walking
To the east of the elegant resort town of Cascais with its historic centre, fishing harbour, beaches and seafront promenades, lies the Portuguese Riviera, characterised by sandy beaches and calm sea waters, but head north out of Cascais and the stretch of coastline leading to Praia Grande faces the full might of the Atlantic Ocean, with powerful waves, strong breezes and dramatic natural scenery.
