COST ACTION FA 1204
VEGETABLE GRAFTING TO IMPROVE YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY UNDER BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC STRESS CONDITIONS
Location: The Meetings will be held at Carcavelos, Portugal. Carcavelos is a parish in the
Portuguese municipality of Cascais, about 15 km west of Lisbon. Cascais is a
cosmopolitan suburb of the Portuguese capital and one of the richest municipalities
in Portugal. There are two direct road connections between Carcavelos and Lisbon:
one by motorway, Autoestrada de Cascais - A5 (exit ‘Carcavelos’), and another by
coastline road, Av. Marginal.
Hotel Praia Mar

Tel: +351 214 585100
Coordinates:
- latitude: N 38° 40' 59.73“
- longitude: W 9° 20‘ 31.21”
The Hotel Praia Mar is located at the best residential area of Carcavelos, just
between Lisbon and Cascais, close to the beautiful sandy beach and coastline, as well
as to the Riviera Shopping Mall, and to a selection of cafés, shops and restaurants in
the square next to the hotel, and some great beach side bars.
Arriving by Plane
Lisbon International Airport is 45 minutes drive for Carcavelos.
The easiest way is to take a taxi directly to the Hotel. On arrival at the Lisbon airport,
please go to the Visitors and Convention Bureau where there is a Taxi Voucher
service from where you can get a taxi without queuing (the price of this service is
around 35 Eur). Or queue for a taxi from the taxi rank immediately outside the
arrivals section.
A cheaper way is to take the Aerobus to Cais-Sodré (costs about 2.3 € and is valid all
day in Lisbon bus company - Carris) and then take the train (see below).
Arriving by Train
There are very frequent, fast and reliable train connections from Lisbon to Carcavelos
(25 km).
The train station in Lisbon is called "Cais do Sodré" and the trip should take less than
30 minutes to Carcavelos (ticket costs about 1.85 €). From Carcavelos train station a
10 minutes walk in a straight line or 5 minutes by taxi (about 3.5 €) to the hotel.
