3. Discover the Delightful Sintra
Enter Sintra through the forests of the Serra de Sintra mountain range and let yourself be fascinated by its narrow streets, architecture and beautifully constructed houses. Discover the blankets of fog and light rain while strolling along the path leading to the castle of the Moors. At the end of the path, you will meet the Moors Castle, built in the 8th century by the Arabs to monitor the roads and waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The ruins covered with dense ferns and moss will capture your heart and envelop you with a sense of camaraderie. A day in Sintra is not enough, so keep 2-3 days in your hand to spend enough time in this breathtaking place.
4. Share the Music Madness
Nothing makes for a better evening than linking to good music. Visit Portugal's most beloved and most popular music festival, Super Rock Super Bock. Attend great performances here, with music ranging from rock and hip-hop to electronic music. If you are in the summer, you can also attend the great Sudoeste summer festival that takes place in the coastal town of Zambujeira do Mar.
5. How About Going to The End Of The World With Your Love?
A few kilometers from Sintra is Cabo Da Roca, a wild and rugged town, surrounded by picturesque fishing villages. Until the end of the 14th century, it was believed that these windswept cliffs were the end of the world. Cabo means lighthouse, and when a lighthouse is in sight, there will always be impressive panoramic views. And that's exactly what you get here! It's the perfect place for a romantic evening watching the waves of the Atlantic Ocean bounce off the huge jagged cliffs. Oh! Take the opportunity to snuggle into your warm clothes, as it is usually very cold.
