Hello! We are Raquel (Portuguese) and Manu (Spanish) a couple of 100% Iberian guides. Travelers of the world the city of Lisbon brought us together and now we live near the town of Sintra, former home of kings, queens, legends and mystery. Lovers of good stories, these can be found on every corner, come and discover them with us. Join us and discover the Portuguese culture, immerse yourself in its history, its gastronomy, its people... And once your trip is over, when you return home, you will end up feeling that you know a little better the homeland of Pessoa, Saramago and the pastel de nata .
Olá! Join us on this walk and see the magical village and lush green gardens of Sintra. The entire town was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
We will walk through Sintra's medieval streets and discover the place where the Portuguese royalty decided to place the summer court. All this at the foot of the security of the Castelo dos mouros. Palaces and castles seem to spring from the mountain, and this years later will dazzle poets of the stature of the famous Lord Byron or composers like Richard Strauss.
We will follow their footsteps and we will visit on this walk: Vila de Sintra, with its famous sweets, the Queijadas and the travesseiros.
In front of Palacio da Vila I will tell you about the kings and queens that inhabited it and how the history of Portugal and the world changed from those rooms.
Once outside the village we will go in search of the palaces that populate the mountains and we will talk about perhaps the most famous, Palacio da Pena. Passing through one that is closer to us in time and the Quinta da Regaleira is equally interesting. After the tour you will be ready to visit the interior of any of these palaces and discover their secrets more closely. Or stop and regain strength with a little Sintrense gastronomy.
Até logo!
In the Jardim Correnteza, in front of the biblioteca municipal look for the Orange umbrella, next to the road, in front of a view that will be worth it :)
