Sintra is a delightful Portuguese town that is situated within the hills of the Serra de Sintra. Hidden within these pine covered hills are extravagant palaces, opulent mansions and the ruins of an ancient castle. The variety of fascinating historic buildings and enthralling attractions, combine to form a fantastic day trip from Lisbon. From Sintra, we venture onward to Cabo da Roca and see the westernmost point in mainland Europe.
