The locality of Monte Estoril had its origin in beginnings of the 20th century, developed by the construction of the railway that links Lisbon to Cascais. Next to the last, with a superb location and idyllic landscapes, it became a place of election of the aristocracy and wealthy families.There was an amazing amount of beautiful big houses in the area but, as money has changed hands lately, many families simply can not afford to keep them anymore. Some have been torn down, others have been kept but enlarged, becoming condominiums and a few are just abandoned. Gladly we still can find many in excellent condition, very difficult to photograph as streets are narrow and trees very high. These are just two examples.

a home that makes you dream and want. she is very beautiful, and there must be a superb view
Even with the narrow streets and high trees you did a good job! Looks like you are still having nice weather too.
You have done an excellent job capturing this beauty as usual.
The challenge to get the image has paid off. This is glorious.
Beautiful buildings, they do not make them like that anymore
This is so beautiful - the white against the ocean. Sad how these old home are being torn down and not restored. I'd love to get my hands on one of them.
Hope you are doing well...

These are beautiful shots. Wouldn't it be great to live in one of these places with that fantastic sea view?
Dreamhouse is all I'll say...
Houses or condos - what a view!
Two very beautiful shots. At first glance, I thought the two posts were friars - you know with the round hats...

Great composition. Another stunning photo and what a historic, beautiful area. I am glad you enjoyed the native american hp dancers on my website. You are right that enlarging them for detail really helps you see the detail and high fashion. I will post some more photos next week and include a video clip of very modern native fashion.
What magnificent buildings. It is loosing part of history when they tear down old unique buildings. Beautiful shots!
What a beautiful spot!!
