• Sintra Mountains - Welcome to the breathtaking Sierra de Sintra, a sanctuary where nature, history, and mystery converge. Just a short distance from Lisbon, this lush mountain range feels like a dream. It’s no wonder it captivates travelers from around the globe.

The Sintra Mountain is not only stunning — it possesses a soul. Among hidden trails, dense forests, and misty peaks, every corner unveils something unexpected: ancient rock formations, secret gardens, and awe-inspiring views.

Here, nature and history are intertwined. The rustling of trees merges with ancient legends, and each step invites exploration. Sintra is more than a place — it’s an emotion. An invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and be guided by its unique charm.

• Casa do Preto - Before delving into the heart of Sintra, make a quick stop at the iconic Café da Preto, a classic spot renowned for its traditional sweets. It’s the perfect opportunity to savor the famous Travesseiro — light, sticky, and filled with almond cream — and the traditional Queijada de Sintra, with its distinctive flavor passed down through generations.

For those seeking something more substantial, the café also offers options for a hearty breakfast. A quick yet essential pause to start the day with energy and prepare the palate (and spirit) for a journey filled with history, landscapes, and discoveries.

Exploring Sintra with a satisfied stomach makes all the difference.

• Fonte da Sabuga - The Fonte da Sabuga in Sintra is one of those local secrets that speaks volumes with simplicity — a place where tradition and well-being unite in a single drop.
  Its water, rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and hydrogen sulfide, is renowned for its therapeutic properties, particularly for respiratory, digestive, and skin issues.

For centuries, locals and visitors have engaged in a silent ritual here: filling bottles, drinking from the fountain, and trusting in nature’s power.

More than just a stop to quench thirst, it symbolizes Sintra’s connection with its land—where even the water tells stories.

Despite the benefits, it’s always wise to follow medical advice, especially for those with specific health conditions.

At Fonte da Sabuga, care begins in the details: a place where tradition, health, and nature flow together.

• Castelo dos Mouros - Begin with a visit to the imposing Castle of the Moors, an ancient fortification dating back to the Islamic period and the conquests of D. Afonso Henriques, Portugal’s first king. Perched atop the mountain, it commands the landscape with a breathtaking view stretching from Lisbon to the sea.

If conditions permit — particularly traffic and the pace of the visit — a brief stop will be made for distant photographs and to appreciate the surrounding scenery. Even from the outside, the striking presence of this stone guardian, whose silhouette carries centuries of history, is undeniable.

• Park and National Palace of Pena - The highlight of our journey is the extraordinary Palacio da Pena, the pinnacle of Portugal’s romanticism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated atop the Serra de Sintra, this palace resembles a fairy tale — with its vibrant colors, eccentric towers, and a bold fusion of Manueline, Gothic, and Moorish styles.

For approximately 1:30, we will explore the palace’s exterior: strolling through the gardens, ascending to the panoramic terraces, circling the building, and enjoying the best views for unforgettable photographs. There will also be time for a break at the local café.

Please note that we will not enter the palace’s interior to visit the dormitories, but everything else will be within reach — and that is enough to marvel at the beauty and unique atmosphere of this place.

It is a visit that impresses the senses: through bold architecture, expansive landscapes, and the natural charm of Parque da Pena.

• Quinta da Regaleira - Discover one of Sintra’s most enigmatic and fascinating places: the Quinta da Regaleira.
  In this location where reality and symbolism intersect, a guided tour will explore every detail and delve into the mystical universe that makes it unique.

Prepare to descend into the iconic Pozo Iniciático, a stone spiral that resembles a dream, filled with esoteric symbolism and connections to masonry and initiatic rituals. We will also traverse tunnels and secret caves, linking different points of the garden and creating an atmosphere of mystery and discovery.

The tour continues through the lush gardens of the estate, where every path, statue, and fountain is designed to provoke curiosity and enchantment.

More than a visit, it is a sensory and symbolic experience, where each corner holds a story, and each step takes us deeper into the magic of Sintra.

• Parque e Palacio de Monserrate - We will make a brief stop at the Park of Monserrate, where, even in a short moment, it is impossible not to be touched by its beauty. Amid exotic trees from all over the world, waterfalls, and serene lakes, walking here feels like being enveloped in a romantic mysticism that only Sintra can offer.

• Colares - Colares, a charming village on the outskirts of the mystical Serra de Sintra. Here, time seems to slow down. With breathtaking landscapes, centuries-old vineyards, and an authentic atmosphere, Colares invites a peaceful break away from the city’s frenetic pace.

Renowned for its unique wine, the Colares Wine, this region boasts a rare tradition: vineyards growing in sandy soils near the sea, imparting the wine with a distinct and unmistakable character. During our visit, you will learn more about this unique process and, of course, have the opportunity to visit a cellar and taste the local wines — a true taste of the land.

The village itself is charming: narrow streets with Portuguese sidewalks, simple yet elegant houses, cozy squares, and architecture that preserves the soul of the place. Colares is the kind of place where authenticity is palpable — and where every detail invites you to linger a little longer.

• Cabo da Roca - Discover Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Portugal and all continental Europe.
  This is where the land ends and the sea begins — as poet Luis de Camões wrote. A dramatic setting of towering cliffs, open skies, and the vast Atlantic stretching beyond sight.

Take advantage of this stop to capture unique photos at this “end of Europe,” feel the wind on your face, and contemplate one of the most impressive views along the Portuguese coast. It is a moment of silence, grandeur, and connection with nature.

A simple place, yet one that leaves a lasting impression.
