Google Map of Cascais & Festival Venue

Some people are finding this direct Google Map link very helpful, whereas others can find it for themselves.

The venue is the Hipódromo Manuel Possolo, Cascais. As you may know, you can learn how far away your accommodations are and the estimated walking time by clicking Get Directions, entering your address, then clicking the icon of the person walking. Note, however, that the farther inland you go, the steeper it gets, and I don't think Google has taken topography into account. That's a way of saying allow extra time.
It's too bad that clicking the icon for public transportation, which normally would give you extra data about public-transit options and even schedules, doesn't work. Helpfully Google has message saying it "appears to be outside our current coverage area."
I must say that the Google map of Cascais has gotten more accurate since spring, when I found it completely inaccurate.
