Welcome to Cascais

Preamble : Cascais (kush-kaish) has rocketed from sleepy fishing village to much-loved summertime playground of wave-frolicking lisboêtas since King Luís I went for a dip here in 1870. The trio of golden bays attract sun-worshipping holidaymakers, who come to enjoy the ice-cold Atlantic.
