Sintra:

Located right in the central western Portuguese coast, just a short

drive from Lisbon, Sintra, Portugal is steeped in history and offers

some of the most exquisite natural and architectural sites in the

country.

Kilometer after kilometer, verdant hills and pastureland went their

way northwest from Lisbon, out of the Tagus estuary and up

towards Sintra, nestled in the rolling hills and peaks of the Sintra

mountain range. Here, at the northern-most extent of the

protected Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, history, archaeology,

architecture and natural beauty combine to create a compelling

and enduring centerpiece that has enjoyed centuries of popularity.

Visitors fill the hotels in Sintra year after year, flocking from all

over Portugal and beyond to experience and explore this living

architectural museum and soak up the ambience of Portuguese rich

and vibrant past – and future.


Palácio Nacional da Pena

The Pena Palace, or Palacio da Pena as it is known in Portugal, is

perhaps one of the most iconic and most photographed palace in

Sintra. Perched high on a hilltop above the romantic town of

Sintra. It is one of the best examples of nineteenth-century

Romantic architecture anywhere on the continent. The Pena Palace

can be seen from as far away as Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, on a

clear and sunny day, some thirty kilometers to the east.

The Pena Palace is more than worthy of its UNESCO World Heritage

designation and is one of the officially recognized Seven Wonders

of Portugal.


The Palacio da Pena dates back to the Middle Ages when it took the

form of a chapel perched high on the hill overlooking Sintra. It was

adopted as something of a pilgrimage site destination and

sanctuary by Portuguese rulers in the fifteenth century, first by

King John II and later by King Manuel I, who had a monastery

constructed on the site, though it was sadly all-but ruined in the

devastating earthquake of 1755.

It was King Ferdinand who brought new life to the estate in the

nineteenth century when he transformed the ruins into the breath-

taking and unique palace that stands on the site today, the first

and greatest of its type in the world. The palace became a favorite

retreat with several generations of the Portuguese royal family,

who headed for the cool hills of Sintra each year to escape the

heat during the peak summer months.


Following the 1910 Republican Revolution, the Palacio da Pena was opened to

the public as a national museum and not surprisingly, quickly became one of

the country’s most visited monuments. It is the beguiling combination of its

history, architectural heritage, the sand and pastel colors of the exterior and

its majestic position, emerging from the lush greenery and towering over the

town and hills of Sintra, that make the palace such as must-see destination.

Guincho (Praia do Guincho)

Is a popular Atlantic beach located on Portugal's Estoril coast, 5 km from the

town of Cascais.

This wide stretch of golden sandy beach is one of the largest in the area.

Backed by wild dunes and flanked by rocks on either side it offers the perfect

combination of flat beach, ideal for sand-based fun and wild waters, perfect

for surfing. Bordered by several well-known restaurants this is the perfect

spot to relax and take stock of your surroundings over a memorable meal of

freshly caught fish or seafood.

This beach was famously featured in the pre-titles sequence of the James Bond film On

Her Majesty's Secret Service, wherein James Bond rescues Contessa Teresa de Vicenzo

from a suicide attempt and foils off two attackers in the surf; the beach still looks as it

did in 1969.

In the 90's, Guincho was one of the locations for the windsurfing world cup.

Today, several sporting events are held at Guincho regularly, including the

Portuguese National Surfing and BodyBoarding Championships.
