Sintra is a charming village just about 20 kms from Lisbon's center. The village itself is beautiiful and, in the mountain above it, the palace and castle are also jewels that justify a visit.
What isn't so well known is its coastal area, where you can explore beautiful beaches and amazing rock formations, Along the cooast you will find excellent trekking paths to explore the area.
The spot where this shot was taken has a magnificent view that extends as far as Praia da Ursa (you can see one of its iconic seastacks) and to Cabo da Roca with its far distant lighthouse.

Although there are many places to visit in Sintra, I preferred rambling through Sintra's streets, both narrow and wide. I find the Sintra architecture very beautiful and quite peculiar, conveying a mysterious sense of dignity in spite of their old age.

Sintra, Portugal (UNESCO World Heritage Site) showcases a special style of Architecture called Manueline which is a cross between Gothic & Romantic - it flourished particularly in the 19th century.
"Architecture is inhabited sculpture."
-- Constantin Brancusi
El Palacio Nacional de Sintra es Patrimonio Mundial de la Unesco y uno de los más peculiares de Portugal gracias a sus dos chimeneas cónicas que pueden observarse casi desde cualquier punto de Sintra. Aunque el palacio, en su origen, era de estilo árabe, fue renovado en el siglo XV siguiendo el estilo manuelino. Fue residencia real hasta la república y ahora es un centro cultural.
