CascaiShopping — Local services in Cascais

This shopping quality has been steadily decreasing for 4 years now. It is only a shell of it's former self. There are still some 8 good shops in there but that's it. They just want you to keep moving and shopping. There are barely any seating places, and they're very uncomfortable unlike before. They changed the spectacular stone floor with spacey drawings on it to some very poor quality wood some contractor surely profited a lot from, which is already heavily broken in a lot of places, full of nasty cracks, bubbles bellow the floor and mold. The stores are forced to undergo visual changes after 6 years, and everytime their time comes they just change to full white like every other shop. The shops were full of class before, it screamed high-quality, now it screams boring and cash grab.

The bathrooms are beyond nasty, smelly, loud and for such a giant shopping, there are too little bathrooms (as part of the change for the sake of changing and help contractor friends mentality)

The dining area on the contrary, near the top floor parking is very good and I can't recommend it enough. Lots of varied places to pick from with very good quality and attractive prices.

I still visit it regularly but can't be recommending it with 3 stars with so much wrong with it. I hope it returns to 4-5 stars instead of...

Just had the worst experience. As they close the shops at 11, but the supermarket is open until midnight, when I finished shopping for food, they didn’t let me go back on the way I arrived up from the parking lot. They directed everyone to an alternative route, and not only me, but most people were completely lost.

First of all, it was cold, I was on high heels, I was with a big rolling basket in front of me, full of good, circulating between the three levels of the parking lot, wondering where is my car.

Yes, I know, that I could have remembered the letter and number of my parking spot, and I did, it was C06.

The problem is they have the same coloring and letter/number system on every floor, and because of various doors were already closed I literally walked kilometers till I found my car.

Being alone, as a woman, in the night, in the cold - by the way, with some suspicious people walking in the parking lot, looking for coins left around the baskets - this was a very bad experience.

If they keep the supermarket open, they should assure that the persons can circulate back to their cars on their original routes.

And they should use different coloring systems in each floors. A kindergarten kid...

c. 1970 A gloriosa baía de Cascais. Glorious Bay

In Baía de Cascais, oh what a sight, Glorious sun shining bright, Regattas sailing with all their might, And my boat, oh what a delight. Fisherman boats dot the sea, A beautiful sight for all to see, And the sea breeze perfume, so free, Brings tranquility and endless peace to me.

The Cidadela fortress stands so strong, Against the salty wind, all day long, Oh, what a place to belong, In Baía de Cascais, where nature's song. The salty wind and the sea so blue, Bring joy and happiness, anew, In Baia de Cascais, it's all true, A paradise where dreams come through.

So sail with me, in this magical place, Where the sea meets the land with grace, And the waves, they dance with embrace, In Baía de Cascais, oh what a pace. Let us live in this moment so grand, And let the sea and the wind take command, In Baia de Cascais, our hearts expand, With beauty and wonder, forever at hand.
