A flavour of Portugal for the main event

Situated 30 km west of Lisbon on the shores of the Tagus, Cascais combines the charm of an active fishing port with the architectural elegance of residences built for the Lisbon aristocracy. It is close to the town of Estoril, famous for its casino, Formula 1 Grand Prix and motorbike racing. The prestigious Clube Naval de Cascais organizes many major yachting events, the latest being the first leg of the current America's Cup World Series.

The great efforts made by the Clube Naval and the City Council to ensure an agreeable stay for the crews in the run up to the start of the race to Barbados, as well as the excellent marina facilities, are sure to make Cascais the high point of the Transat Classique 2012.
