    Cabo da Roca: westernmost point of Conti- ESTORIL & CASCAIS nental Europe Welcome to the Sunset of Europe Text & Photography: Jonathan Ramael The Estoril Coast is a destination with more history than you’d think at first. Just 20 km from Lisbon, it served as a summer re- treat for the rich and famous since the 18th century. During the last world war its hotels were home to exiled royalty, high society members and officials, but also to countless spies documenting their every move. Years later it is still one of the country’s main leisure resorts. MICE is on the rise though, with several modern venues popping up in recent years. Most of all, the area offers lots of fun and interesting things to do. We joined an international press trip for four days of teambuilding activities, surprising dis- coveries and a quick visit to the capital.
