fun fact: Casino Estoril in Cascais inspired Ian Fleming to write Casino Royal..during WW2 , Portugal was neutral, so Lisbon became the center of espionage during the war, in which British and German spies mingled at the Casino...

[@miguelhannes875]

Interesting facts about Cascais area: - Biggest casino in Europe - During WW2 it was a spy hub from both axis and allied forces as Portugal was neutral during the war - The Italian, Spanish, Romanian Royal Families were exiled in Cascais for years - Ian Fleming creator of James Bond was a spy during WW2 in this area and he wrote Casino Royale while based here. The first Casino Royale was shot in part in Estoril and Guincho beach - It is originally a fishing town and by the end 19th century became hotspot for aristocrats and wealthy people, still keeping its charm and its fishing activities being one of the biggest fish markets in Portugal - It celebrated 650 years as a town couple years ago - It's one of europe's best sailing destinations having hosted America's Cup arguably the F1 of sailing; also the ISAF world sailing championship and others - It hosts one of the best horseriding championships in the world, the Longines Global Champions Tour for 13 years now - It host the European Tour Golf Portugal Masters - It has one of the most mythical race tracks where there used to be F1 and Moto GP - bikes are returning next couple years its under negotiation - Major surfing and kite surfing destination Probably more but that's it for now : )

[@andregomescastro]

Fun facts: 1. James Bond first book, Casino Royal, was written...in Cascais (so Casino Royal is based..in Casino Estoril). 2. Cascais was famous for having/living there ''more kings then 5 Star hotels" (examples: Edward VIII (UK) + Juan Carlos (Spain) + Umberto (Italy) + Carol (Romania), etc)

[@pixelised]

Yeah, I thought it showed they didn't do their homework by saying Cascais isn't super interesting when there's actually so much more than what meets the eye (charming as it might be). It could have just been a pretty former fishermen town but became much more than that… Loads of stories which could have been told and almost mandatory places they didn't visit/show made this vlog a bit underwhelming.

[@conni70]

the history of Casino Estoril is a fun fact...surprised they didn't know about that

[@ROSASHOWW]

I'm completely addicted to your videos! Honestly you are becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs in the world ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Maria 🌹

[@PFC4575]

Another really great video! Keep the charm and the class! Cascais, Estoril, and Carcavelos deserve more videos! KTGW!

[@christinanorris4907]

Great job as always guys. Here are some more suggestions... Walk on "paredão" (nice to stop for lunch or a drink around sunset), pick up a bike and ride to "Guía" for another drink. But there's also the non touristy part of Cascais and that includes the historic neighborhood (not where you said it was, it's a little inland), Quinta do pisão (pick your own organic vegetables), cut through the beautiful park near the marina (Marechal Carmona) and walk on the dunes near praia do guincho. And you can explore tiny towns on the way to Cabo de Roca, like Ulgueira. Just more suggestions for another day trip. :)

[@WeaveTheStory]

Awesome video guys! Cabo de Roca's one of my favourite spots in Portugal.

[@lorrainehopkins3030]

So informative, visually entertaining and funny 🤣.

[@goncalolourenco6031]

You should have tried the Santini icecreams. They're one of Cascais biggest "attractions", people come from Lisboa and Sintra just for the icecreams. It's classic

[@baltax11]

São diferentes da loja do chiado?

[@goncalolourenco6031]

São a casa original, no entanto a qualidade é exatamente a mesma na minha opinião. O que diferencia mais é o ambiente, basta estar em Cascais em vez de no meio de Lisboa

[@christinanorris4907]

Os gelados de Santini de fruta são bons, não acho que sejam tão bons os de chocolate etc. Para mim, os gelados de Amorino são melhores. E para o melhor gelado mais todo o ambiente do lugar, tem que ir a Ericeira... Nutwood. Yum

[@PeterPanMan]

Well done video, guys. Aesthetically, technically, music, humor, etc, very enjoyable all around.

[@joenandamalie]

Thank you so very much for the kind words ❤️❤️🇵🇹

[@FranciscoSmirsley]

I wish I had a million Euros so that I could sponsor you to do this "ad eternum" because what you do is really relaxing, the music is gorgeous and I miss my Country.

[@TheSchummy68]

Beautiful video guys, near Cascais can visit Estoril with beautiful houses, Estoril casino, beaches, etc.

[@joenandamalie]

Thanks, Paulo! We have yet to explore Estoril. Would be nice to make a casino vlog, but I doubt that they allow cameras :D

[@TheSchummy68]

​@@joenandamalie Yes, inside the casino you can not film, but you can film in the gardens, the casino has a good bar to drink gin.

@@joenandamalie And there are 007 facts about the casino, look it up. ;-)

[@leito1257]

The water is so cold but after you feel just like new, it’s fantastic feeling.🥰❤️

[@JenShea]

🤗🇵🇹 👋🏻 3 of the views so far are from me 😉 I went to Cascais twice in my 3 months in Portugal. It’s a beautiful town. The first time was on a whim, with my Step-Mother after we dropped my daughter off at the airport. She has friends who had told her about it... and among her friends it’s known as the Portuguese Riviera. Love that guitar player... big happy smiles! The area was teaming with spies during WWII and did you know that the former King of England and is wife, Wallis Simpson moved there? And, Sir Ian Fleming was inspired by the Palácio in Estoril and it’s really the birth place of James Bond. Fascinating history!

[@JenShea]

Joen. That hat looked great on you!

[@Jesuscger]

During the World War II there were more kings without a throne in cascais than Hotels.

[@JenShea]

Jesuscger Right!! 😃

[@ruirodrigues5433]

And dear Jen, there is a board game, "Estoril 1942", inspired in the WWII side events that occured on this area. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ7IkK2uqb2YjbM

[@joenandamalie]

Thank you 🌹

[@scochat]

Guincho (we spell it without saying the "U"), it's most of the times a very windy place, and so the beach is mostly for surf and windsurf.Or for those who enjoy windy places, though lol

[@Jesuscger]

Tomorrow and next Tuesday it will be 28ºC/29ºC in the Setúbal region, you should go to Sesimbra´s beach!

Nice Video guys! im not sure who is the editor around your videos but let me tell you that im very suprised by the amount of quality you put in it. there is some really and serious editing skills overhere. Have fun and im glad you enjoy our country!

[@knowthyselfandyoullknowthe8216]

if for you having a soul means being a poor city than maybe yes Lisbon was a poor city in the 90's from your perspective, but Lisbon was wild and untamed back then (watch Wim Wenders "Lisbon story" although I do think you will not like it and call it poor), nowadays is just becoming a big soulless city that has been swallowed by hordes of tourists.

[@ZEROZERO-xx3qm]

JUST NO.... Lisbon looked like it was a city recovering from some war until 10 years ago. Now it is becoming a proper capital city of western europe....

[@knowthyselfandyoullknowthe8216]

Ahahahahhahahah Proper city from the western world !!!!! don't make me laugh, like it's a compliment to be the same as every other materialistic cities @@ZEROZERO-xx3qm "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. - Krishnamurti" As always the price to pay will be high...

[@Bracarensis]

I lived in central Lisbon in 2001 and it didnt looked poor at all compared to the other cities in the country. I guess the gap is even bigger now.

[@knowthyselfandyoullknowthe8216]

@@Bracarensis I was living in the 90's on the other side of the river, in Barreiro and had a happy childhood and teenager years there and although it wasn't everyday great and i couldn't afford tons of stuff, it was very far from a "poor" place...it was a great learning experience that structured my living until today...having it all is the best way to not be able to appreciate the little (and most important things) in life !

Another great vlog! Super relaxing too! But I must saw that a part two could exist ;) Rua direita and other little streets could be featured (really pretty houses), Santini icecreams (1st ever santini shop in Portugal) , images of the baia de cascais, praia da rainha, parque marchel carmona (beautiful city park), cidadela de cascais, Museu Condes Castro de Guimares (stunning fairytale building), casa das Histórias (cool building -Paula Rego is a well knowed Portuguese artist), marina de cascais and the guincho road is a super scenic road (maybe you guys could cycle along there - they rent bikes along there. Also casa da guia has nice cafes (pricey) and super nice view. beijinhosss

I have a cool fact 4u, berliners were brought by jewish refugees during WWII to Cascais, the locals didn't like the jam too much so they adapted the filling and Bola-de-Berlim was born.

Great videos. I like your humorous take on things. It would be very helpful if you included the names of the places you visit in the description. Thank you! Subscribed!

[@joaocebola5832]

The next time you go to cabo da roca folow the same road more 1 or 2km and turn right to the midlle of Serra de Sintra and stop at PENINHA. In there you'l find amazing views from the top and a place to start trekking downhill.

[@joenandamalie]

Thank you for the nice suggestions ❤️

[@joelcardoso3617]

Hello, Loved this video and thank you for showing Cascais area in such a classy fashion. One interesting fact about Cascais is that it is a traditional area for elites vacations, elites like the royal family (when there was one) and during the XX century a lot of European royal families came to Estoril and Cascais after losing their thrones, Giving Estoril, in Cascais municipality, the title of "the graveyard of the European monarchies". In Guincho the "u" is silent. It means squeak, probably due to the squeaky sound the wind makes when it drags the sand through the dunes.

[@mafaldaluciano4194]

Fun fact : The Estoril Casino (Portuguese: Casino do Estoril) is a casino in the Portuguese Riviera, in the municipality of Cascais, ... an inspiration for Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 novel

[@chicagomike]

Thank you. Love seeing the sea and this part of the area near Lisbon. To our Portuguese native speakers in European Portuguese, is it pronounced Cashcaish. Both s with chiados. Thanks. Always confused.

[@filipecarvalho3105]

Cascais is indeed lovely to relax (when you don't have to zig-zag between thousands of people, especially when warm weather comes) and enjoy the seaside, outside Lisbon. Outstanding drone footage once again *clap clap clap*. PS: Portuguese lesson: you don't read the "u" in "Guincho", or any other word with "gui" (like the town "Guimarães") or "gue" (like "guerra" = war), except for "gua" (like the town "Guarda") where you DO read it. There. That's 80€, please.

[@joenandamalie]

So it does get super crowed at Guincho beach? Because we were told that it rarely does. Thanks for the crash course :D! We need to get better at all these small rules! Here's your 80€ 💶

Also gardens, several old palaces, restaurants and a sushi hotel Casa da Guia over the sea worth visiting. You also missed heavily on the History part. Do something about Hotel Palácio in Estoril and the Casino or places to stay like luxury airbnb's or hotels, since you say you love luxury so much...
