A visit to Sintra mysterious foreststeemCreated with Sketch.

 Hello Steemit! 

Sintra is a resort town in the foothills of Portugal’s Sintra  Mountains, near the capital, Lisbon. A longtime royal sanctuary, its  forested terrain is studded with pastel-colored villas and palaces. The  Moorish- and Manueline-style Sintra National Palace is distinguished by  dramatic twin chimneys and elaborate tile work. The hilltop 19th-century  Pena National Palace is known for a whimsical design and sweeping views. 

 How such a small piece of forest near Lisbon can hold an incredible amount of mysteries and unexpected events? 



Due to a last time decision we decided to spent more time around the more natural part of the Sintra Mountain Range,  next time will have in mind going around the more historical part of it, such as the palaces and village.


Hope this gives a reason to explore such a place, have you ever been in Portugal?


Cheers, Leo
