Sintra

PortugueseEUR €3 walks

A cool, damp green mountain near Lisbon where kings summered for the air and Romantics built a deliberate fantasy on the peaks: the eclectic Pena palace, a ruined Moorish castle, and gardens coded with symbols like the Regaleira's inverted initiation well. Byron called it a glorious Eden. A UNESCO cultural landscape of make-believe made real.
