Loved the read today. We will be following in your footsteps and grabbing a shaken not stirred 🍸martin there on our inaugural visit to Estoril one of these days. Poignant post with the premiere of Daniel craig’s last 🎥 movie. And did you see that fabulous gold dress Kate Middleton wore that night.
I can hear Shirley Bassey in my head singing Goldfinger 🎶 🎤
You might enjoy the novel Éstoril by Dejan Tiago-Stankovic. Set at the hotel at the height of WWII. I have not read it yet, but it is on my list; most likely during my next Portugal visit expected over Christmas.
Wonderful historical adventure with exquisite architecture. I can't wait to see your rendition of the 'family room'. Love to you both from across the pond. Denise C.
Well, you got me on this one - being both a Bond fan and a martini lover. The rooms are exquisite. I was wondering, do you know of the agency in Portugal or Lisbon that handles the venues for the film industry? My daughter-in-law Mendi used to work for the group in Philly. She was working during the filming of "The Sixth Sense." I still love that film.

I love these brief historical journeys, but what's wrong with George as oo7?

But I do expect a hot date with Mr. Craig shortly.
Great story Nancy.
