Dead whale
The removal of a whale from Parede beach in Cascais last night resulted in the closure of the busy Marginal for around four hours between Carcavelos and Parede.

Maritime Police took the decision to close the road between 5pm and 9pm as it was low-tide, which they said would assist them in hoisting the ten-ton carcass onto a truck from the beach below.

The ten-metre long whale had beached on Saturday afternoon.
