_______________________
The Estoril coast is relatively close to Lisbon/Lisboa, the Portuguese capital; it extends 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the capital. Estoril is popularly recognized for the Casino Estoril, widely regarded as Europe's largest casino.
_______________________
Cascais is a coastal municipality 30 kilometres (19 miles) west of Lisbon; it is a cosmopolitan suburb of the Portuguese capital and one of the richest municipalities of Portugal. It is located on the Estoril Coast (also known as the Portuguese Riviera), in the Greater Lisbon subregion.
_______________________
Sintra is a municipality and town in the Grande Lisboa subregion of Portugal, and considered part of the Portuguese Riviera. Sintra is known for its many 19th-century Romantic architectural monuments, which has resulted in its classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has become a major tourist centre, visited by many day-trippers who travel from the capital Lisbon.
In addition to the Sintra Mountains and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park, the parishes of the town of Sintra are dotted with royal retreats, estates, castles and other buildings, including the medieval Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena Palace and the Sintra Palace.
The Sintra Mountains, a granite massif ten kilometres long emerge abruptly between a vast plain to the north and the northern margin of the Tagus River estuary, winding in a serpentine cordillera towards the Atlantic Ocean and Cabo da Roca, the most westerly point of continental Europe. Since 1966, the Sintra Mountains have been affected by fires that have destroyed a major part of the original forest, which has been substituted by acacia and other fast-growing exotic species. The forested area of the Sintra mountains is about 5,000 hectares (50 km2).
_______________________
Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca) is a cape which forms the westernmost extent of mainland Portugal and continental Europe. The cape is located within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, 42 kilometres west of the city of Lisbon and in the southwest of Sintra.
_______________________
The Sanctuary of Christ the King (Portuguese: Santuário de Cristo Rei) is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon situated in the city of Almada, Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument.

Travel ideas: the North of Portugal, Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice
Subscribe to the channel
Located on the shore of the #Atlantic #Ocean, #Aveiro is an industrial city with an important seaport.
The seat of the municipality is the city of Aveiro, comprising the five urban parishes with about 73,003 inhabitants. The city of Aveiro is also the capital of the District of Aveiro, and the largest city in the Baixo Vouga intermunicipal community subregion.
Aveiro is known as The #Portuguese #Venice, due to its system of canals and boats similar to the Italian city of Venice. The people's quality of life is very high.
Aveiro, Portugal, is perhaps one of the country’s most unique and inspiring cities, and yet it remains a “hidden gem” that features on surprisingly few travel itineraries for visitors planning their trip to the western flank of the Iberian Peninsula.
No visit to Aveiro, Portugal, would be complete without taking the time to explore the expansive lagoon and canals that weave their way around and through the city.
There is something about a city set amongst water that adds a certain charm and magic, and Aveiro is no exception. Indeed, Aveiro has been hailed as the Venice of Portugal for its pretty maritime setting.
Aveiro canals criss-cross the centre, radiating from Praça Humberto Delgado in the very heart of the city and stretching out to the Atlantic Ocean waiting beyond. Aveiro canals and the lagoon have been the centre of its industry and economy for hundreds of years, and simply taking the time to wander along their banks is like taking a journey through history.
with a mixture of grand buildings and former fishermen’s houses, the canals are a festival of colour, with brightly coloured paintwork and attractive ‘azulejo’ panels for which Portugal is renowned. However, it is the bobbing fishing boats, or ‘moliceiros’ as they are known locally, which really bring the Aveiro canals to life.
Moliceiros were traditionally used to harvest seaweed, although they are more commonly used these days for tourist activity, and hopping in one to take a tour round the city from the water’s perspective is the perfect way of whiling away an hour or two during your stay.
There are in fact many different styles of boat which are used to navigate the waters surrounding Aveiro, but the moliceiros are the most popular and are best associated with the city.
The moliceiros are shaped long and narrow, with a styled bow and stern which are often highly decorated, with ornate images demonstrating tongue-in-cheek humour about everyday situations. They are usually made of pine and around 15 metres long and some two-and-a-half metres wide, with a covered forecastle. They are propelled by the use of a long stick or, on the narrower canals, via a towpath cable.
The ornate decoration of the moliceiros is at odds with the workaday usage for which they were originally designed. Despite their sumptuous looks, they were once the vessel of choice for harvesting seaweed from the lagoon waters surrounding the city.
The seaweed was the main source of fertiliser for use on the farmland that surrounded the city, ensuring that it played a vital rule in Aveiro’s agricultural economy. The low-edged design was perfect for gathering seaweed and the long, shallow body was ideal for navigating through low waters.
There are many moliceiro tours to choose from, of similar price and quality. Try taking a tour at the end of the day so you can admire the sunset over the waters and leave with lasting good memories of your stay.
