Cascais by Night tour! Garanteed the only one, Unique and Exclusive tour.

The dark days and cities destruction of WW2 were felt differently at this enlighten Riviera, when the majority Europe had none, neither safety nor hospitality. Between spy games, the political context of the Portuguese dictatorship, the life of royals exiled, the journey of the Jews to salvation, and how Portugal rescued them, and so many more people, during the war, as neutral country… chose to visit, this glowing glamorous but simple internationally made territory, from a unexpecting local till then unknown fisherman’s village. It’s still unrevealed world history here.

Cascais - the birthplace of tourism in Portugal - has its own proper way to be shown and learned. That requires time and special dedication, and so much more value for money, for and by the guests. And the no crowds space available - specialy on those summer inviting nights when you dont want to go early to bed - lets you realy feel the essence of the Portuguese Riviera. Starting on the years of 75, 76 (the return from the colonies), going back in time, decade by decade, till the early 1900s and more... all started by a King's major decision in the 14th century. Special focus on the Second World War, and how through Cascais, Portugal - neutral - participated activity on it... Isnt that correct, Mr. Bond?

HUGE TRAGEDY STRIKES PORTUGAL.

🔥🔥TODAY IS THAT DAY!!

OH MY GOD...🔥🔥

The worst natural disaster in history of Europe and Portugal took place exactly on this day at 9h30am, but 269 years ago. It was an event that brought the country, towns and communities to their knees and despair. It was not only Lisbon as we commonly hear about. Interestingly Portugal was still living under the control of Inquisition back then, and so the greatest question asked, about that event, will put the Church out of stage as He – God - didn’t had the answer when people asked: “why is He so angry about us to cause such massive destruction?” Others will rise to answer, not defying Him, but applying the labor knowledge and wisdom so the Great Portuguese Fenix could rise again. And those are even today still considered or labeled daemons by the church and followers or a considerable portion of the society. Why? Shall be the new great question!! They brought back classic Era history and Portuguese history, and technology to upgrade Portugal and its cities to the modern late 18th century and the glorious 19th. They were lead by one of the most controversial figures of Portuguese history. Many want him back. Others still punish him forever. Intrigued?

Treat, no trick

Here is not on October 31st (Halloween) but, also today, like every other November 1st, since 9am, the bells on the houses of the suburbs and inland Portugal start to call on the neighbors. Children are at the door to intone “Pão por Deus” Bread for God. Although there was money from the Government to restore town and Country after 1755, this tradition apparently started In 1756 corresponding to the children’s innocence on asking for bread to fight the poverty effects caused by the earthquake total destruction. Kept on, and having died during the rise of the new millennium until recent years, Its back! It’s a huge history lesson as well. And the parents are with the kids. Nice! Also, very, very interesting this historical re-rise... Thank you History!!! Come to know about this on your tailor made Lisbon tour!
