Its serene environment makes it ideal for those seeking a relaxing break from the urban pace, offering an opportunity to connect with the local community.

The Legacy of the Name

The garden's designation, "Cruz da Guia", reflects the name of the urban area in which it is situated. This name suggests the existence of a landmark with historical or symbolic significance in the region, possibly a cross that served as a guide in the past. The garden, by inheriting this designation, keeps alive the identity and memory of this particular spot in Cascais, becoming a symbol of its location.
