"The Elfin Hill" is the title of a story written by Hans Christian Andersen however, IMHO, that title could have also been a wonderful name for the forest of Sintra. Actually, just as a matter of curiosity, i should tell you that Andersen made a trip to Portugal, in 1866, to visit a friend who was, at the time, spending the weekend in its farm "Quinta do Pinheiro" located in the Sintra forest area. Yup, Anderson was a guest there for a while. Could he have been inspired by the magic of the place? Well, that i don't really know but what i do know is that the story of "The Elfin Hill" is wonderful and full of magic, much like the Sintra forest.
