EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken circa 1930, showcases the picturesque Railway Station in Estoril, Cascais, Portugal. The station, nestled between the shimmering Atlantic Ocean and lush greenery, is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the Portuguese Riviera. The curved, elegant design of the railway platform, with its distinctly Portuguese azulejo tiles, blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. To the right of the station, the golden sands of Estoril Beach stretch out, inviting visitors to bask in the sun and take a leisurely stroll along the promenade. The blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean gently lap against the shore, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The trees lining the station and beach add a touch of natural beauty to the image, providing a welcome contrast to the man-made structures. The signage, adorned with the names "Estoril" and "Cascais," proudly displays the destinations served by the railway, while the curving railway tracks lead away from the station, inviting travelers to explore the surrounding areas. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen walking along the platform, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The image transports us back to the 1930s, a time of glamour and elegance, when the Portuguese Riviera was a popular destination for travelers seeking sun, sea, and relaxation. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring charm and allure of Estoril and Cascais, and the role that the railway played in connecting people to this stunning coastal region.
