Sintra

Ola!

So we both have been so busy that we haven't got any time to sit indoors in the computer and do any posts. But this is the mistake we are correcting now :). One weekend we went to Sintra which is a MUST GO place in Portugal. Sintra is a very touristic palce and famous for it's beautiful architecture and landscapes. The nature in that place is different from Lisbon and the distance from those places is only 20-25 kilometers. Sintra has a microclimate, which means that its location on hills jutting out from the ocean, catches the breeze from the sea. This makes it much cooler than most of the beach towns.

On that day when we visited Sintra it was rainy and foggy but honestly this made it even better because we really got the feeling like we are in a fairytale or in a movie.

Locals say that you need at least 2 days to go through all Sintra and one day is not enough.Well we accepted the challenge to see everything in one day and almost succeeded, because in our opinion we saw most of the things and rate it as 70% SEEN! So the other 30% of Sintras sights will wait for us the next time we come to Portugal. Because Sintra is the place to go and the views are just breathtaking and you can’t convey them by pictures...

Historical city centre

Piriquita cafe, in the town centre, makes its own delicious and famous ‘travesseiros’, puff pastry filled with egg and almond. The queue was so long that the line was even out of the door.

Cuties. Tuk Tuks

Another miradouro.


Ola!
