Take the train to São João do Estoril.

Expedition

On a clear blue morning in Lisbon, I borrowed my friend's e-bike and rode to Cais do Sodré. The ride took a bit longer than anticipated, but the next train towards Cascais was also delayed, so I was just in time to catch it. I enjoyed the fairly scenic train ride along the coast.

From São João do Estoril, I followed Google's straight-line route towards the hash, which turned out to depend on a tiny bridge at the end (I suppose I should add that to OSM). The path up the hill was steep and the mud increasingly sticky, so I quickly resorted to walking the bike. Piles of trash were scattered around, and the hash seemed to be right next to one.

I continued east along the path - half riding, half walking - and down the other side of the hill. Then I navigated towards the coast via some larger roads and too many stairs. Along the coastal trail, with waves spraying up from below, I stumbled upon a place to have lunch in the sun. Later I continued riding through Cascais to Guincho before taking the train back from Cascais.
