• Sintra - Sintra is a charming tourist town nestled at the base of the Sintra mountains in Portugal, near the capital, Lisbon. Historically a royal retreat, its lush landscape is dotted with pastel-colored farms and palaces. The National Palace of Sintra, showcasing Moorish and Manueline architecture, is notable for its two striking identical chimneys and intricate tiles. The 19th-century Pena National Palace, perched atop a hill, is renowned for its lavish design and breathtaking views.
• Park and National Palace of Pena - The Pena National Palace, also known as Pena Palace or Pena Castle, is situated in the village of Sintra, within the municipality of Sintra, in the Lisbon district of Portugal.
• Casa Piriquita - Established in 1862, the bakery that would become known as Piriquita has a history spanning over 160 years.

The name Piriquita was derived from the nickname given by King D. Carlos I to Constância Gomes, inspired by her petite stature. It was King D. Carlos I who encouraged the couple to create the famous Queijadas, a sweet treat they enjoyed during their summers in Sintra. The bakery’s success was immediate, quickly evolving into a pastry shop.

• Cabo da Roca - A visit to Sintra is incomplete without seeing Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Continental Europe.

Located at latitude 38º 47´ North and longitude 9º 30´ West, Cabo da Roca serves as a crucial coordinate for coastal navigation, marking the westernmost point of the continental European continent, a fact commemorated by a certificate for visitors.

Situated about 150 meters above the sea, it offers a sweeping view of the Serra de Sintra and the coastline, making it a worthwhile destination.

Historical records indicate the presence of a fort at Cabo da Roca in the 17th century, which played a significant role in guarding the entrance to Lisbon, forming a defensive line along the coast, especially during the Peninsular Wars. Today, only remnants remain, alongside the lighthouse, which continues to be a vital navigation point.

It is part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and is a highlight of the coastal walking routes available here.

• Praia do Guincho - Praia do Guincho is a well-loved Atlantic beach on the Portuguese coast of Estoril, located 5 km from the city of Cascais, within the municipality of Cascais, specifically in the parishes of Cascais and Alcabideche, in the Lisbon district.
• Cascais - Situated by the sea and traditionally a fishing village, Cascais experienced significant growth in the 14th century when it became a bustling port for ships en route to Lisbon.

However, it was in the latter half of the 19th century, when sea bathing gained popularity, that Cascais transformed into a fashionable summer resort. The main catalyst for this change was King D. Luís I of Portugal, who in 1870 converted the citadel fortress into the summer residence of the Portuguese monarchy. This trend was followed by the nobility, who built mansions and elegant homes for summer stays, completely transforming the former fishing village.

Cascais also began attracting visitors, facilitated by the opening of the Railway Line between Pedrouços and Cascais in 1889. Today, Cascais is a vibrant and cosmopolitan area, still retaining its aristocratic charm.

Visitors are encouraged to explore its streets, which feature high-quality shops, or relax on one of the many terraces. The beaches remain a major draw, offering choices between those in the sheltered bay of the village or those further away in the Guincho area (part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park) that provide excellent conditions for surfing and windsurfing. Boca do Inferno, a coastal indentation surrounded by steep cliffs and caves, continues to be a natural wonder that attracts many visitors eager to witness the power of the sea.

The region’s gastronomy is a highlight, particularly the fresh fish and seafood available in numerous local restaurants.
