What travelers say:

Portugal's third largest city, Cascais, 30 km west of Lisbon. Cascais was originally a fishing town, and bathing was popular in Europe in the late 19th century, and Cascais was gradually transformed into a noble city. The king of Portugal also moved his summer resort here, building a residence and five castles, and it has since become a resort. Portugal was a neutral country in World War II, and the Allies and Axis had a large presence in Cascais to gather political and economic intelligence, which was a huge spy. The British Duke of Windsor, who loved beauty and didn't love the mountains, escaped from the stalking and kidnapping of Nazi German agents and fled to Bermuda. The prototype of James Bond was from here, and the author Ian Fleming's 007 novels were created here.
