cascais, portugal

Before my two days of indulgence in Lisbon last weekend, I actually spent several days working in Cascais, an enormously picturesque coastal town just outside Portugal's capital. It's a lovely place, a small settlement which arches around a plush marina, a picturesque seafront and some charming cobbled streets in the town centre. It's an ideal work conference venue, somewhere lovely, cosmopolitan and temperate, just diverting enough to provide a much needed counter-balance to work duties, but not so fascinating as to be actually distracting. Except...

Except it rained all week. Still, here are a couple of nice pictures, taken in moments of calm.

What a coincidence - I've also spent time away with work in a quaint harbour town. Mine was rather less exotic than yours, being Padstow - at least I was luckier with the weather, though. Could get used to trips like that - they don't come around as often as they seem to for you...
