Serra da Sintra is a cape which forms the westernmost extent of mainland Portugal, continental Europe and the Eurasian land. Our plan was to go there to see the sunset but by the time we arrived there, it was very foggy. Here are couple of photos from Cape Roca.
The palace of Sintra is an architectural space that was built in various periods. It consists of rooms and chambers where the Loyals received visitors, courtyards and terraces where the privileged enjoyed their leisure; offices where the steward and his clerk managed the royal property; and the gardens from which fruit and flowers were sent to Lisbon.
The Palaces is also the center of the economic and legal administration of the surrounding region. It was where the taxes were kept, contracts signed and the natural resources of the landscape of Sintra protected.
Sintra is a charming city full of colorful architecture beauties: Palaces, castles and gardens. Here are couple of photos taken while walking to visit the National Palace (up to a hill where the National Place of Sintra located).
