We spent an excellent 18 days in Cascais doing Workaway, and had so much fun exploring this beautiful town that's so close to Lisbon, yet has a charm of its own!
Check out our First Impressions of this gorgeous seaside town:

Beautiful friend watching you from India your new friend here dear
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is lovely to make new friends! ~ Mandy
I lived in Cascais for ten years. Beautiful. Sweet memories. Thank you for video.
Cascais is so beautiful, and it would have been amazing to have lived there for 10 years. We're so pleased we could show you what it's like now in these videos. Thank you for your lovely comment, Candida, and we hope you enjoy the other videos in our Cascais playlist! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Cascais PORTUGAL: czcams.com/play/PLCmNbKU5iMrmRzYd_su16YU3zgM08oBhI.html
Visiting Cascais via Lisbon in 6 months time. Saving 'this' video for viewing closer to my visit. thanks
It's great to hear that you found this video helpful, W Y. We loved Cascais & made several more videos from our time there. Here's our Cascais playlist to assist with your pre-trip research:
Cascais PORTUGAL 🇵🇹: czcams.com/play/PLCmNbKU5iMrmRzYd_su16YU3zgM08oBhI.html
Love your Cascais videos. There is so much to see and do. Will hve to add a couple of more days to an eventual trip!
We're so pleased you enjoyed these videos, Christine, as we loved Cascais! There really is so much to see there, and we'd return in a flash! ~ Mandy 😀😁
THANKS FOR SHARING VERY INFORMATIVE😋
That's so nice of you, thank you! We're happy you enjoyed this, and we hope you enjoy our other Cascais videos as well. Here is the link to our Cascais playlist:

Mais um maravilhoso vídeo, Cascais fui de passagem, local lindo
Sim, Cascais é muito bonito el tão interesante. 😊
Great vid 😎 👍 note to self dont drink the wine makes you do handstands 🍷
Hahhha... I'd say all the more reason to drink the wine 😁🤣 Thank you for the laugh, revolt7. It's always a pleasure to hear from you! ~ Mandy
Hi Mandy & Lee- you hit a home run with your Cascais videos. I watched them a few times each and took notes cause we’re going there in a couple weeks. Great job! We will be checking out some of the menus do dia for sure! And I want that purple scarf! Good choice! Looks good on you, Mandy.
Hello Sandra! We're so pleased you have enjoyed our Cascais videos, and really hope they'll prove helpful to you during your visit in a couple of weeks. There'll be one more Cascais town video next Saturday, in which I'll be cramming all the wonderful things not yet shown! The week after that it'll be Lee's Cabo da Rocha video, and I hope they both prove useful to you as well. The menu do dia at A Carvoeiro is such brilliant value, and the owner is so friendly... I loved the sparkling white wine and the delicious food! I also love my purple scarf and orange cardie... the Cascais markets are excellent! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it!😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Gypsy Market = Traveller Market. Some of the items for sale were stolen.
@@joaorobalo9353 Oh no, I didn't realise! Thank you for sharing this information ! ~ Mandy
Hello Lee and Mandy,
Just wanted to thank you for your whole series of CZcams videos on Portugal! My wife and I just finished up a trip to Lisbon, the Algarve, and Cascais and used some of your videos as our guide! We especially appreciated the outdoor mall eating area in Cascais with the sea view! We chose the pizza, fries, and full pour of wine for €6.40 each and found it to be a great bargain! We’re in the process of purchasing a little apartment to split time between Portugal and the States, but with an eye on frugal living to help stretch our retirement funds further! Thanks again for all your help! We hope to meet you in the future to thank you in person!
Hello Philip!
It's always so wonderful to hear from viewers who have used our videos as guides, and have found excellent bargains as a result!
Our goal is to share practical information and prices, showing how much fun people can have, even when travelling on a budget.
Your meals at Cascais Villa sounded great, and even better value than ours 👍👏😀
We wish you all the best with your apartment, and are sure that you will thoroughly enjoy the time you spend in beautiful Portugal!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. ~ Mandy 😀😁
Nice belt lee and impressive moves.
Thanks Ryan. The belt is from Bolivia. One of my favourite places in South America. 😊
Muito lindo esse lugar. amo um dia qualquer tô voltando. 🐛🦋
Obrigado por seu lindo comentário. Cascais é tão bonito. 😍 ~ Lee
Another great video of Cascais! We are looking forward to checking out 1 euro dishes at 100 Montaditos. I like Mandy orange’s sweater and beautiful scarfs, what a bargain,1 euro each! The view from the rooftop of Cascais Villa is great and the meals from the food court look good. Thank you for sharing places to see and tips. WOW! Lee stood on his head after the meal and wine, I wonder how long he stood like that. LOL
Hello Sue! Thank you for your lovely comment. We're so pleased you enjoyed this video, and hope the budget tips will be helpful for your visit to Cascais! We will be mentioning you in this week's video, during our wonderful day trip to Cabo da Rocha, and would like to thank you again for your kindness and generosity ! Cascais is a beautiful town, and we hope you have as lovely a time there as we did! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
WOW guys, awesome video. I loved the view from the top of the food court, another place to add to my list.
OMG never been to any of the markets in Caiscais! Have been to several in Lisbon, I love Feira da Ladra (Thieves Market) near the big church and the Thursday market at Carcavelos, but the Caiscais looks really good. My kind of market - excess luggage here I come. Mandy - orange looks great on you!
I'm so pleased you enjoyed this video, Cindy. It's the first one I've made and exported that didn't need any tweaking, so it's wonderful to get such positive feedback!
The markets in Cascais were excellent... especially the Gypsy market! I could have easily bought a whole new wardrobe for under €20! Thank you for the lovely compliment re: my orange cardie. I have to say that I absolutely love it, and am so pleased Lee talked me into buying it, much to my initial horror! 😉🤣
When we were in Lisbon, the markets were all closed due to covid, so we only saw the outside of the Feira da Ladra and the Time Out market. I'm really hoping we can make it back there some day! As always, we love hearing from you, Cindy, and really appreciate your kind comments! ~ Mandy
Looking for a scarf is quite funny. My wife has been on a three month expedition to find new shoes. She finally settled on a shop in Figueira near the train station. I wish I could explain how many malls I have walked through and I am thankful these will be comfortable shoes to walk on the calcadas.
It wasn't just looking for a scarf, but a €1 secondhand scarf that was the challenge 🤣 We bought Salomon trail running shoes in January 2020, and they're all we've worn for the past 2 years! I definitely understand the importance of good shoes and how important it is to have the right fit and comfort level! ~ Mandy
Very nice video 👍
Thank you very much for your lovely comment, Point of View GR ~ Mandy
Wow! I've been to Cascais a couple of times and wrote it off. Thanks for the info. My wife and I in Figueira da Foz for April and are finding it very affordable. Thank you so much for your efforts, they are very welcome.l
Hello Todd. We loved Cascais and found it surprisingly great value for some things when we looked around. We'll be showing more fun free things in the third and final Cascais town video - I would definitely recommend you give this amazing place another shot sometime 😃😁 We've never been to Figueira da Foz but it's on our ever growing list of places to visit in this beautiful country. We're so pleased you enjoy our videos and find them helpful 😁😃 ~ Mandy
It can get somewhat unpleasant when the tourists hit the town. Portugal needs the tourists, but the town seems overcrowded.
Thanks for showing a side of Cascais I haven’t seen anywhere else before. It’s so nice to see budget options, especially the wonderful markets! Definitely places I’d love to check out and I’m sure many others would too. I so enjoyed watching this video! ☺️
Hello Priyanka. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I never know if other people will be interested in the things I find fascinating, so it's great to hear that you enjoyed this video. We wanted to share the places and things we liked in Cascais, most of which aren't major tourist attractions! The markets were the best I've been to in Portugal, and I absolutely love my orange cardigan and purple scarf. Thank you so much for your kind words and support, and we always love to hear from you! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers I so appreciate responses from you and Lee too! :)
that cardigan colour looks good on you. Do not mean to be creepy. Still it is a good colour for you.
I don't think that's creepy at all! Thank you for your lovely comment, and I absolutely love my orange cardigan, and am so pleased Lee talked me into buying it! Best €1 I've ever spent 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Hello from the Looney Mooney crew in Australia 👋👋🇦🇺 Great guide guys. Portugal is on our list for sure.👍👍😄 New sub from us ❤️
Hello Looney Mooney crew! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed this video. Portugal is wonderful... it's my favourite out of the 101 countries I've visited, so I'm sure you'll have an amazing time here! 😃😁🇵🇹 ~ Mandy
Had I gone to the market today I maybe would have seen you! Those escalators in Vila Cascais never work… a friend of mine found a great linen summer dress in the Gypsy market.
Hello Tatiana! We had an amazing 18 days in Cascais in January, and the Gypsy market was absolutely brilliant! I still can't believe I found such great bargains there, and love my orange cardigan and my purple scarf. Thank you for your lovely comment! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Duhh, for some reason I thought you were still in Cascais. Hope you come back soon!
@@tatianaschoenfield9819 We'd love to go back to Cascais! It's such a great place, and I'd go straight back to that excellent value South African restaurant for their Menu do Dia! Maybe see you in Cascais someday! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Wow wow wow. What a beautiful city! The streets look so colourful! I was born in Cuxhaven which is located in North Germany. After World War II many Southern migrants emigrated to Cuxhaven for working in fish industry. Thousands of Portuguese and Spaniards came here. They had brought theirs local architecture to Cuxhaven
Some districts look like that town! New subscriber here and I hope we stay in touch!
It is so interesting to hear about the Portuguese and Spanish migrants in Cuxhaven taking their local architecture! Are there also many Portuguese-style restaurants there, with pastel de nata and bacalhau? Thank you for sharing this fascinating information! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
I have lived in Cascais for a few years now, it’s very nice but it’s not cheap.
We really enjoyed our time in Cascais - you live in such a beautiful place. Had you heard of A Carvoeiro, the South African restaurant? It's such amazing value, and finding it really enhanced our stay in Cascais, as many of the other restaurants were out of our budget! ~ Mandy
I'm sure I've seen Mandy wearing that cardy already!
Hahhha... I knew that if anyone would notice the break in continuity, it would be you, as I'd have been the same 🤣 It's been a right challenge putting together 18 days worth of short clips into coherent videos 😃 I've got one left to make on Cascais, putting together all the other bits from Boca do Inferno, the Farol, another great free museum, the park and the brilliant South African restaurant... hopefully it all works! Thank you for being your wonderfully observant self! 🙏❤ ~ Mandy
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully it was of use to you. We really enjoyed Cascais. Have a nice day 👍 ~ Lee
Love your videos guys! You both seem like such genuine, down to earth people! We love Portugal and will be back over in about 10 days…..will definitely be checking out some of your recommendations in the Portimao area while we are there😎😁👍🏼!
Hello DiscoBiscuit, love the name! 😁😃 It's so cool to hear that you enjoy our videos as we really hope they are both informative and entertaining... we're all about reality, not glamour! How wonderful that you'll be back in Portugal in 10 days time - I hope you have a great time in Portimão and that the sun is shining! Let us know how it goes - we loved our 7 months there! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to reply 😄. Yes you really do come across very genuine and it’s made keen subscribers out of myself and my wife! Will let you know if we find any good value places while we are there 😊. Looking forward to more great content from you guys in future. 👍🏼
@@discobiscuit6959 That's so lovely, thank you... you've made my day! We used to fall victim to the old comparison game, but have realised that if we keep making our simple but (hopefully!) informative videos, like-minded people will find us. We're so pleased you discovered our channel and look forward to hearing more from you! 😁😃 ~ Mandy
I have the same phenomenom with walking up switched of escalators. The last time I was in that shopping centre, my daughter had a massive itch attack and suddenly couldn't bear her tights as they were slightly bobbly and old so I had an emergency tight buying mission. I can't remember what the outcome was, but she was very distressed by it at the time.
Oh no, poor Izzy! When was that last visit? I must admit that you inspired me to take that clip as I saw it on one of your Cardiff vlogs, and it perfectly summed up why I so often almost trip on non-moving escalators! Lee thought I could have cut that bit to make the video shorter, but as it's something that always disconcerts me, I wanted to keep it in! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers it’s relatable! I had comments from people about the non-working escalator phenomenon! My legs go all ridiculous on them. I don’t know if you had Monty Python and the Ministry of Silly Walks where you grew up, but Lee will probably remember that. That’s what my legs go like on non-working escalators!
@@PlanetImo Oh no, my reaction isn't as severe as that from the Monty Python sketches, but I always do a small half trip before my brain catches up with my eyes. I loved that you showed this, so wanted to share my experience... it never fazes Lee in the slightest! Does it catch out IB or Izzy? ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers I think they’re fine with it! 😆
Gr8 thnx
We're so pleased you enjoyed the video! Thank you for taking the time to comment 🙏😃😁 ~ Mandy
Oh my, another great video, thank you guys, if you have the chance to try the pateis de bacalahua from casa portuguesa, those are really good, a bit pricey, but worth to try them, but once again, thanks for these videos, very inspiring
Thank you so much, Graciela! It means so much to us to receive such wonderful feedback! Thank you also for the suggestion about the pasteis de bacalhau! We are so happy that you enjoy our videos! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Hi Mandy, that orange cardigan suits you very well. Time to ditch dark winter clothes!
I have to ask, how can you guys afford not to work / move around?
Do you guys have a passive income?
Hello Sergio. Thank you for the kind comment... I was super reluctant at first but now absolutely love my orange cardigan! I do prefer to wear black tee shirts though as am always spilling stuff on myself 😁🤣
That's a great question and it's on our list for the series of Q&A videos coming soon. Keep an eye out for the first one in a month or so! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Dark colors are for people trying to blend in / want to be discreet.
But that orange color really works well on you.
Yep, that would be nice you guys to explain how you guys can manage travelling like that for so long. Looking forward for that video!
Wishin the both of you a pleasant weekend 😎
@@SERGIO-cr6uy That's such an interesting way to look at it. I love wearing black clothes - they ground me and make me feel more my true self. My Ma still tells me I should wear more colours but I still don't feel comfortable in them! 😁🤣
I'll give you a little insight into retiring before turning 50... it's all about years of sacrifice and living like paupers, which is what we still do now 🤣 I hope you enjoy that Q&A video and the others when they come out, and we look forward to hearing your feedback! I hope you have a great weekend! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Another fantastic and useful video from Cascais. 🎉 We have a lot to see on our next visit. As others noted, the orange cardigan looks good on Mandy👍🏻. It’s my son’s favorite color. 🧡 Also appreciate the smooth feeling of wool . Sad to say I purchased a beautiful sweater in New Zealand many years ago but never wore it since I find it to be too itchy. 😢 Two questions please: 1) the market didn’t have a price for the red raspberries. When I looked at Pingo Doce in Tavira last November; they were very expensive and imported from Argentina (if my memory serves me correctly). Have you found the price of berries to vary by season? 2) you noted you go to market stalls w/prices. Is one expected to bargain at the stalls without prices? I prefer not to negotiate but was curious. 🤔 Thanks as always for your wonderful work.
Hello lucchese20, and thank you for your wonderful comment! There'll be one more Cascais town video, then Lee's Cabo da Rocha video... we hope you find them both helpful when planning your trip to this beautiful place 😃 I really didn't like the orange cardigan at first but it's now my favourite item of clothing... and I have Lee to thank for persuading me to buy it! That's such a bummer about the NZ sweater. Some wool can be so itchy but modern merino tends to be amazingly soft!
In response to your two questions:
1. I've found berries to be more expensive in supermarkets, the same with avocados. We buy frozen mixed berries from Lidl at €2.99 for 750gr and have them for breakfast with muesli and Greek yogurt. We haven't bought fresh berries in Portugal
2. As far as I know, there isn't anh bartering in Portugal. We always choose stalls with prices the same reason we'd never order a drink or food in any country without first checking the menu and price... because there's always the possibility that we might be overcharged. I noticed this in the Nazaré market when a seller said her lettuce were €1... we've been to enough markets here to know they should have been €0.80 at the most, and indeed were €0.70 on the sign at the very next stall! Most people wouldn't blink an eye at paying €1... but it's close attention to prices and our budget that enables us to travel the world.
I like your questions and will add them to the Q&A... apologies if I mispronounce your name 😁😃 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Thanks Mandy for your reply and tips on saving money with berries, as well as your tip on coffee (forgot to mention that). Agree with Merino wool. I hold on to that NZ sweater because it has more sentimental than practical value. Silly me. 🤪
My YT/Google name has a long story behind it but, basically, I registered about 20 (!) years ago never knowing I'd be using it to communicate w/folks. My name is Maurice...pronounced like in French and not "Morris" but Morris is okay as well.
In closing, next time I go to the beach in Cascais and I see someone doing a handstand, I'll know exactly who that person will be. 👋🏻
@@lucchese20 I am so happy to now know how to pronounce your YT name, and it's lovely to meet you, Maurice! Thank you for your lovely comments - we really appreciate the fact that you notice every detail, as we're the same, Hopefully we'll stumble across each other some time when you spot Lee doing a headstand on a beach in Portugal! 😃🇵🇹 ~ Mandy
Hi! Did you see these clothes markets in Lisbon? I love how you say brilliant, I find myself saying it now too
Hello Paula! How lovely that you've found our Cascais videos! We had such an amazing time there!
We went to the Thieves Market on a day trip to Lisbon in August with Ma & Gaz... here's the link in case you missed that video:
czcams.com/video/LZB4hbx87ns/video.html
How lovely that you picked up on me saying "brilliant"... a friend in Nazaré mentioned that as well, but I don't even realise I'm doing it! It's certainly an excellent word to use 😉🤣
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Love watching your vlogs. My partner bought a house in central Portugal cause wish to live a slower pace of life. We were originally thinking of retiring there, but now we wish to do it much earlier. What do you guys do for money? How do you survive. Do you have any tips?
Hello Darren, and thank you for your lovely comment! We're going to be working on a series of Q&As and that question definitely be on the list as it gets asked so often, so keep an eye out for the first one starting in a month or so. I'm currently back on the quinta sit near Oliveira do Hospital... Central Portugal is lovely and we wish you all the best! ~ Mandy
A question for you: How is the lavatory situation in Portugal? Do restaurants or hotels tolerate their use by nonpatrons? Are there pay public washrooms at tourist destinations and parcs?
A great question, R W! We only use restaurant toilets if we're patrons. There aren't always public toilets available in towns, but supermarkets in Portugal tend to have toilets by the checkouts at the front of the store. Some places like Sítio de Nazaré or Sete Rios bus station have paid loos for €0.50 ~ Mandy
Hello Mandy and Lee. Thank you for the informative video. I am thinking of moving to either Sintra or Cascais, but some youtubers mention that these 2 places are expensive. Do you agree with them?
Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes we do agree. Both Sintra and Cascais are upmarket areas so prices are more expensive there in regards to housing and in some respect of eating out and services. We have made a few videos on Cascais where we have found the best value restaurants if you want to watch for an idea. Thanks for watching 🙏 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers Many thanks for the explanations. I am thinking of moving to Portugal. Could you recommend some wonderful lower cost areas in areas closer to Lisbon so that I can do more research on them? Are Setubal and Almada good areas? Many thanks Lee!
@@thiongannsee6894 I would recommend joining Facebook groups for areas you're interested in, and searching through their previously answered questions on this topic. As we're budget travellers, we don't have that type of in depth knowledge. Good luck with your research! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers That is a wonderful idea. Many thanks Mandy and Lee.
What month were you both in Cascais. Is Cascais less touristy after summer? All the best.
Hello Adrian. We were in Cascais in January, with excellent weather. We aren't sure what it would be like in summer. ~ Mandy
8:22 i dislike when they say small, medium and large beer, but does not say how many mililiters are each. I only have to assume 0.25, 0.33 and 0.5, but wouod not buy without asking
It's always wise to check. Quite often the sizes of beer glasses here in Portugal are 200ml, 300ml and 400ml for S, M & L ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers no respect for a beer, 500 (or a pint) is a standard large beer almost in every country :)
@@basedpatriotLT Hahhha... so harsh 🤣 Not in Oz, where a schooner comes in all different sizes. A caneca here can be 400ml or 500ml, so it's good to check first. Only bottles of beer come in 330ml, in 200ml & 250ml bottles as well. Cans can be up to 500ml. Which is your favourite... Sagres or Super Bock? ~ Mandy
Where is a good spot for us to get dropped off by an Uber or taxi 🚕 in town (close to the beach)?
Hello Janet. Thank you for your question. We walked everywhere in Cascais so aren't sure about the best spot to be dropped off. Hopefully someone else will see your question and be able to offer advice. Cascais town centre is fairly compact so you could always be dropped off by the train station or at the beach itself. ~ Mandy
That huge bowl of french fries was 1 euro?
Yes, on a Wednesday or Sunday. Such great value! ~ Mandy
Cascais on a budget. Sleep on the beach 🤣😂🤣😅
Hahhha... that's an interesting suggestion 😊 We were doing Workaway in a lovely guesthouse so had comfortable beds 😀😁 ~ Mandy
