Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point of mainland Portugal and mainland Europe. Luís Vaz de Camões described it as the place "Where the land ends and the sea begins". It is part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and there is a lighthouse in the area
Cascais is called the "Monaco" of Portugal, with its beautiful bay. It is part of the Golden Triangle, a place where during the Second World War it was a refuge for kings and queens from all over Europe, such as the last king of Italy, Romania, France, dukes of Luxembourg as well as the English king Edward VIII. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, Cascais has been a place frequented by Elites
Another place frequented by elites, kings and even spies was Estoril. With the largest casino in Portugal, it was here that Dusko Popov, the double agent, was the inspiration for Ian Fleming to write the famous 007, the book of the most famous spy in the world. It was in the Hotel Palácio that the actors of the 6th film of the famous series lived and starred. Estoril is also an area of elites, where even today the Spanish royal house has a residence
