Estoril
Sixteen miles (26km) west of Lisbon is the trendy resort town of
Estoril, a cosmopolitan holiday destination with a promenade along
three narrow coarse sandy beaches, luxury hotels, championship golf
courses and some excellent restaurants. During World War II exiled
royalty from all over Europe took refuge here and whiled away their
time gambling in the Estoril's casino, which is one of the largest
in Europe. The town is also known for its summer handicraft fair,
and the nearby Estoril Autodrome, which draws motor racing
enthusiasts.
