Our day trip to Sintra begins with one of the most mysterious places in Sintra: Quinta da Regaleira, a place linked to Freemasonry that looks like a fairy castle, a place you can't miss and that you'll want to discover until the end. Further on in Monserrate Park is its palace with a mixture of Arabic and Indian styles and its botanical garden, then there's a brief stop to savour our traditional cuisine in a local restaurant.

We will continue along the coast until reaching the westernmost point of Europe, Cabo da Roca.
