The beaches are packed, the streets are bustling, and there is a perpetual queue outside Santini's - the best ice-cream shop in town...
Santini's... and yes, it's worth it!
Every year Cascais celebrates the Festas do Mar (Festival of the Sea), which means the beaches are packed with towels and sunburnt tourists, there is a live DJ performing fairly constantly, there are nightly concerts, and a couple of designated areas that house temporary markets.
The atmosphere is buzzing and alive, and it's great fun to immersed in - which we did one afternoon recently with Marjolein and Tim Janssen, plus their kids Fen (2 years old) and Bo (3 months old).
The weather was glorious, the company was superb, and the drinks were cold... all in all, a very pleasant way to celebrate it being Saturday.
