Portguese Winds


Sintra is a magical place in the Heavens (height up to 500m). It is an old city surrounded by mountains, castles, beaches and parks. It is only 20km from Estoril where we were located and some 30km from Lisbon.

We visited two major castles: Palacia De Pena and the Regularia. The former was built by King Ferdinand I in the late 1800´s as a "summer residence" and the later by a doctor in 1910.

Here we are at one of the balconies of Palacio Da Pena - no one told us ãbout the strong winds!!!
