My spot in Cascais, Free Sprit, was born out of love and passion for activities. I travelled, lived and worked around the world, for 10+ years, kite surfing, surfing, and taught yoga in a host of renowned spots after leaving the corporate world. I teach yoga here and enjoy combining all of my passions including rock climbing, hiking, biking, games, skate boards, slack lines – to give you guys the best active experience.

Cascais offers the best of both worlds when it comes to Portugal. The incredible Praia do Guincho (Guincho Beach) is just 9 minutes away and the vibrant Lisbon lifestyle just a short ride away on the train. Lisbon is a European tech hub and Cascais is one of the best possible spots to be able to balance the accessibility of Lisbon and the serenity of the beach, coastline and it's just a short drive from the hills and woodland of Sintra national park too. This is an awesome spot for freelancers to pass through, get active and social. It can be booked out for larger teams and retreats too on request.

WORK
The coworking space
There isn't a single fixed coworking space, but the size of the house lends itself nicely to being able to find a quiet or social spot for working very easily with great wi-fi through out the house. There is a bar area downstairs that doubles beautifully in the day as a skype room or area for making calls and you can work comfortably inside or outside, lazing by the pool depending on how you're feeling. It's a new house so the layout might evolve in time too.
In the living room there is place for 22 people to work in a table and other spots to work in couchs. Outside there are two wroking areas, one next to the barbecue in a big area with table and benches where 12 fit and the bar where 5 fit and the breakfast garden area where 8 fit.

Cascais is a nicely positioned spot to be in regards to Lisbon and surfing. Praia do Guincho is the closest beach and is also one of the most consistent beaches in the region. For bigger winter swells a short drive towards the city brings us to Carcavelos which can support large North Westerly swells. Of course these are two very popular surf beaches located close to Lisbon so we do have to assume there are some crowds especially on weekends. However when you've got a flexible work schedule it gives us a chance to hop in at the quieter times and on the off seasons outside of the summer months too.
We can also head up the coast a little towards the world surf reserve of Ericeira. One of the first beaches we come to Sao Juliao picks up a good amount of swell and has some fun banks. If we fancy heading south we can also drive across the bridge to Caparica or even further down to Sesimbra, not necessarily for the surf but purely for the incredible beauty this area has to offer.
In Cascais we partner with a surf school on Guincho beach who can provide lessons for beginners and there are also numerous spots for board rentals or picking up a new stick from the surf shops around Lisbon.
