Cascais in the context of "Estoril"

The Portuguese Riviera (Portuguese: Riviera Portuguesa) is a term used for the affluent coastal region to the west of Lisbon, Portugal, centered on the coastal municipalities of Cascais (including Estoril), Oeiras and Sintra. It is coterminous with the Estoril Coast (Costa do Estoril) and occasionally known as the Costa do Sol (Sun Coast).

The region is internationally known as a luxury destination for its history as a home of the wealthy, the famous, and European royalty. Cascais, Oeiras and Sintra municipalities are consistently rank among the richest municipalities in Portugal.

António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres (born 30 April 1949) is a Portuguese politician and diplomat who has served as the ninth secretary-general of the United Nations since 2017. A member of the Portuguese Socialist Party, Guterres served as the prime minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002.

Born in Cascais, Guterres studied physics and electrical engineering at Lisbon's Instituto Superior Técnico, briefly taught systems theory and telecommunications, and became involved in politics while active in a Catholic youth group. Guterres served as secretary-general of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He was elected prime minister in 1995. He led the party to legislative victories in 1995 and 1999. Guterres announced his resignation as Socialist Party leader in 2002 following the party's losses in the 2001 local elections, with Eduardo Ferro Rodrigues succeeding him while he remained prime minister until losing the subsequent general election to José Manuel Barroso's Social Democratic Party. Despite this defeat, polling of the Portuguese public in both 2012 and 2014 ranked Guterres the best prime minister of the previous 30 years.
