Parede is a village and former Portuguese parish inserted in the east of the municipality of Cascais, in the district and metropolitan area of Lisbon. With an area of 3.6 km², it is the least populous of the three towns in the municipality, having in 2011 a population of 21,660 inhabitants.
It is characterized by its beaches, whose sun exposure and abundance of iodine give them therapeutic characteristics. This quality would have repercussions in the composition of the village itself, rich in examples of summer architecture from the 19th and 20th centuries
