Monte Piton Marathon

Every Second Sunday and Monday , in remembrance of Monte Piton, women in cascais meet in the town center, take off all their clothes and run around nearly naked for two days. It's quite a spectacle. bring your camera. Leave your girlfriend at home.

The start of the market

If you are in Cascais on the first or third Sunday of the month make sure you go to the bullring market. If you want it …. it is here.

This is a good place to get tee shirts and pottery at local prices. This is a big market with everything you could ever want and a whole lot of stuff you do no. Do not argue too much with the gypsy’s, as you will have to fight with them all.
