As why internacional schools are based more around cascais area or as we Portuguese say ( Linha of Cascais ) , if I can say I feel is because from 20, 30 years ago, foreigners with more income/richer people tended to buy better properties in that area running away from Lisbon city from apartments to biguer houses like villas, and so Cascais area is a posher area for Portuguese and foreigners it was always the case, from even kings and princes lived there, there area is super nice, I remeber it 20, 30 years ago and it was very nice not so busy as it is now, in this 20/30 years all the extension from Lisbon to Cascais is becoming to be overcrowded, still is a very good area, but to my yes now is much more pocket areas you have to know where to pick , if not you end up in a very densily populated area, and so naturally then the schools that need big in areas ( because posh schools of course they have to offer good spaces, sports campus etc and try to be more near to be a good offer to those who seek it , I know for example 2 of them very high tuition prices at least for us Portuguese middle class, this 2 of them when students have to get in or get out is a display of kind of "super cars" queying, this comment just like a funny part, not just foreigners, a lot of Portuguese put kids there for preparing them to go to universities abroad, and so the schools are in there to because rich Portuguese are in this area to, has the entire country know it like the posh areas everybody always know. funny enouph back 20/30 years you could see in cascais, estoril this kids that they were very distict from normal kids, they looked more blond and blue eyes more surfy kind of culture because they belonged to rich families, and so the distinction was pretty evident, back then more supe apart from common people, you could see them quite easily, cos it was very normal and still is to go from Lisbon to cascais by car or train to just pass time in the weekends because the area was very pretty and calm ( that now is different, much more cars and desity of people that moved there and not just the Rich , layring from beach/river to the interior parts then each new generation went up beacuse that was what they could buy, so nature back then has been cosumed by construction in the last 30 years the expansion of this has been remarkable...
I grown up in cascais in the 80s and I can clearly say that the reason why international schools are located there, is because cascais was always an area where we're many foreigners chose to live. There were many foreigners living in cascais since I remember, but now it looks There are even more... and the lady is right, maybe it's to much and that bring issues to the locals from an economic point of view. Very wise when she said to take attention to the prices... maybe they are super inflationed because there are too many forigner with more economical power and that may bring issues to the locals. A few years back, cascais was a place we're locals could rent, now it's a place we're only wealthy portuguese or wealthy immigrants can rent... but anyway in general cascais was always since I remember a wealthy people region.
What happened to those likes? As usual, I really enjoyed this interview. It's always a pleasure to watch the Katie and Josh show.
E sempre um prazer.
