2. At 30km from Lisbon, we will take you to a unique place, which has two well-kept secrets: A unique Palace and a World Surf Reserve A Palace, a Convent, a Basilica, in a single monument: Palace of Mafra. It is a building dating back to 1717. In this majestic Baroque-style monument with 1200 divisions, 4500 windows and doors you can find two carillons, which are the largest in the world, with 98 bells and six organs. Another thing you can not miss is the library, which has 40,000 books in gold and skin. The monks who lived there created a colony of bats that eat insects that demage the books during the night. This is how the books have survived until nowadays.

   2,5 h

3. Among the green hills and valleys of the agricultural region northwest of Lisboa, known as 'Saloia', Aldeia da Mata Pequena is a small rural village with a dozen houses, where people still lives peacefully in close contact with nature, breathing clean air and living with authenticity. Small, simple, rustic and very cozy, the houses were rigorously restored from which there was almost nothing left but ruins.

About Sintra

Sintra is a hill town west of Lisbon, wrapped in misty forest and crowned by a Moorish castle, a colourful Romantic palace and mysterious gardens.

Sintra is a UNESCO-listed cultural landscape on the Serra de Sintra, a granite ridge that catches Atlantic mist and keeps the hills green and cool. Portuguese kings and nobles built summer palaces here. The Pena Palace, a painted fantasy of yellow and red towers, sits on the highest hill, while the Moorish Castle's walls climb the ridge nearby, and the old centre has the Sintra National Palace, recognisable by its two conical chimneys.
