We were late in booking accommodations in both Cascais and Sintra. Being late in the season I was confident that we could find good accommodations, probably discounted, since it was last minute. Terri worked on Sintra while I worked on Cascais.
There were ample places in both cities and I chose the Evolution Hotel in Cascais, very nice and pretty reasonable.


We asked for restaurant recommendations from the concierge but after checking their ratings, menus and prices, I found a more “locals” place away from the water, Churrasqueira do Viveiro. The food was great!

After dinner, Terri wanted a digestive since we had Uber’d back from the restaurant and we had missed our normal post-dinner walk home.

The next day was clear and sunny, and after going to the hotel gym we headed across the street to the beach. 🏖️ It was nice and warm and I had a very short swim in the ocean, but we also wanted to try the hotel pool. We were not going to get our usual 15k to 20k steps in today. 😂

Tomorrow, mystical Sintra.
