Dawn spills over Lisbon and the private car slips onto the coastal road, the Atlantic already breathing salt and wind. The driver eases past Estoril’s palm-lined promenade; the Hotel Palácio sits like a chapter of wartime intrigue, its corridors once frequented by spies. From here the route unfurls — Cascais’ cobbled marina, the roar of waves at Boca do Inferno, then cliffs that demand attention at Cabo da Roca, Europe’s western edge.
