My family moved to Cascais sight unseen. We had spent time in Portugal on several occasions but never with the intent of moving. We moved here during the COVID-19 pandemic, which made a scouting trip all but impossible. We knew we wanted to live in Portugal, but narrowing down where was a beast of a decision. We ultimately chose Cascais.
