 It was Salazar who ordered the construction of the E.N.6 motorway, more commonly referred to as the "Avenida Marginal", in order for him to quickly travel by car between Cascais and Lisbon (until then the accessway was nothing more than a dirt road, where traffic could only circulate at low velocities and make frequent stops).The roadway permitted the dictator to travel rapidly, and with fewer stops, it was not possible for him to be recognized easily in transit.Complementing the jet-set community that prospered in the region, Casino Estoril, Europe's largest casino, was founded in 1958.
