You step out in Cascais into a wind that smells of salt and citrus; the Atlantic pushes at the cliffs and the road leads inland toward Sintra’s cool hills. The day moves in contrasts—sharp coastal panoramas at Cabo da Roca, the slow, measured pace of a winery courtyard, and the tiled bustle of Sintra’s Historical Centre.
