Highlights
- Miradouro Santa Eufemia - Sanctuary of Santa Eufémia It’s one of the sacred sources of water and an amazing sight; here we will connect with the ancient legends of Sintra. From here, we will walk about 2 km to a sacred lake with living waters; when you’re up to it, we can do some relaxing and breathing exercises to get into the teluric frequency of Sintra’s waters. “Please bring a pareo or scarf to sit on and wipe your feet after soaking in the lake.” - Fonte da Pipa - Fonte da Sabuga is where you can taste the water from one of the main sources of Sintra. - Sintra National Palace - From the top, we do the sightseeing of the National Palace of Sintra, an emblematic palace with two big chimneys, and we talk about the historical life of this royal palace. - Castelo dos Mouros - On the way to Moorish Castle, we stop in front of Chalet Biester, one of the iconic palaces of Sintra, and then we stop to see the castle. - Park and National Palace of Pena - We stop in the mountains, and we’re having a wonderful sightseeing tour of Pena Palace. The Parks of Pena are beautiful botanical gardens in Romantic style, with connections to ancient heritages and exotic landscapes. Originally the main source, Penha of Sintra has been a pilgrimage point all over the civilizations and centuries’s… The yellow Royal Palace was built as the summer residence of the last dynasty of kings in the 19th century. Integrating all the heritages and symbols of our nation in the romantic expression of his time. If you want to visit on a tour, I suggest the tour by the exterior and the parks that you can choose at the moment; the interior is always crowded, and you have to schedule the day before to 1 p.m. - Quinta da Regaleira - Quinta da Regaleira It’s a very unique, symbolic, and mystic palace that expresses a scenography of the Alchemy of the Spirituality, with the misterious Iniciatic Well connected with the Templaires origin of Portugal. - Parque e Palacio de Monserrate - On the road to Monserrate, you will pass some attractions, like the Palácio de Seteais and one of the beautiful Fountains of Sintra. Then we stop by the Park and Palace of Monserrate. Once more, past history connects with the Romantic time of Sintra, where an English merchant built its beautiful summer residence with amazing architecture and the beautiful gardens that characterize all these palaces of Sintra. That’s the park and palace that I suggest visiting on a tour. Here we finish the palace sightseeing and follow to the wonderful natural places, where we connect with the water sources and the immense Atlantic Ocean. - Santuario da Peninha - On the way from the interior of Serra de Sintra to the Sanctuary of Peninha, we make a stop at one of the Fountains of Sintra to taste another mineral water. Sanctuary of Peninha has an amazing sightseeing view of the Atlantic Coast, Lisbon, Cascais Guincho Coast, Cabo da Roca, and Sintra (when the microclimate allows). Signposted by different civilizations, from the prehistoric to the Romans to the Chrystians, and finally the last legacy of the Quinta da Regaleira builder, his last retreat to his Alchemyc experiences. As one of the Sacred Sources of Sintra, there were professions all over the times to his Sacred Waters. Here we put a stop to a deep connection with our ancestral legacy, the Meghalit experience… - Cabo da Roca - The Western Point of Europe, Cabo da Roça, is a unique point with an immense view throughout the Atlantic Ocean. - Praia das Macas - Returning Sintra by the Coast, we do a passage by Praia das Maçãs, where we do one more connection with the natural and cultural heritage, and eventually we can stop for a relaxing drink or an early dinner. Then continue with another stop to admire the beautiful ocean view at Azenhas do Mar. - Azenhas do Mar - Azenhas do Mar is a picturesque village where we have a beautiful ocean sightseeing view.
