The Region
Full of charme
Sintra is
an ancient city, its his
history going back to the
Middle ages. It invites to
make long walks to admire
its beautiful monuments :
the palaces, the
monasteries, the gardens,
the museums, castles,
churches, historical
houses, the beaches and a
host of other things.
Geographicaly located
between the Atlantic and
the Sintra Highlands, at
the extreme west of the
european continent, Sintra
has a really excellent
climate that, according to
some, is the best in
Europe.
Praia das Maçãs (Beach of Apples )
Its
golden sands and its clean
surf present an
irresistable challenge to
swimmers and sporters
alike.
But you
can also take the old
streetcar or, simpler
still, just enjoy life and
observe the passers-by
from one of the many
terasses. |
