Cascais is a charmingly beautiful bay, in the nearby coastline of Lisboa. During the 19th century, when it became a vacation destination for aristocratic Lisboners the once fisherman village evolved into a cosmopolitan getaway. During WWII it was the perfect place for wealthy European refugees, amongst whom were the exiled kings of Italy and Spain. The ambience during the war was exquisite, full of secrecy, inviting to spies, politicians, diplomats and war actors.
