Caxias village

CAXIAS

Our proud local village! Located only 10 minutes away from Lisbon city center and 15 minutes from Cascais. It´s a village guarded by two ancient fortresses, with a seafront, two white sandy beaches and calm waters (surfing is possible in Wintertime).
Today it prevails as a cultural and landscape complex that grew over the property of the Royal family in Oeiras. Emanating the sophisticated social life of the 18th Century, Quinta Real de Caxias is about 200 meters from the beach and Caxias train station. The lush vegetation characterizes this privileged urban environment. Caxias Station itself is surrounded by one of the gardens and is facing the ocean and the beach.

The city of surf – COSTA DA CAPARICA

Costa da Caparica has a stunning 26km coastline of glorious sandy beaches. With powerful Atlantic waves and beautiful natural scenery. It extends along the western side of the Setubal Peninsula but right in front of Lisbon city center. Only the Tejo river separates both cities. Much of the southern Costa da Caparica coastline lies within the “Arriba Fóssil”. This nature reserve has protected the fossil-rich cliffs coastline from any major development.
The coastline faces the might of the Atlantic Ocean, and onto the wide, sandy beaches powerful waves break, making it ideal for surfing and kitesurfing. From these beaches, fishermen employ traditional Xávega fishing techniques (by hauling the nets onto the beach) and with catches ladened with sardines and lots of other fish species.
