Activity 13 of 2025: January 13

A beautiful but very tiring day. We got up early and after a hearty breakfast headed for the Lisbon train station. Only 40 minutes later we were in Sintra.

It is very difficult to describe Sintra, the Pena Palace to someone who has not seen it with their own eyes. A castle from a fairy tale, in pastel tones of yellow and red, with facades made of green ceramics. Moorish style of construction, numerous decorations... all these are only mild descriptions of this magical castle. Even pictures can't convey how beautiful and fairytale-like this place is.

Then we wandered around the gardens of Pena for a couple of hours, enjoying nature. In the end, I decided that the return to Sintra would be the less traveled route - a hike along the walls of the Sea Fortress along a well-maintained path along steep cliffs. And since we're already at the castle, it would be stupid not to visit it, right?
