Estoril is also where the Portuguese Grand Prix is held & the detention centre where I was held after missing my ship.Was eventually shipped back to UK on the good ship MV Wellington Star.

Hardly opposite Lisboa. More West . Beautiful place! on the Atlantic coast . Better known as the Home of Kings & Queens. As many of the former , from their previous Kingdoms chose to reside there .
Used often catch the train ,down to the Casino. When doing the European cruises with Cunard.
