Long the home of Portugal’s monarchs, Sintra is a magnificent town of marvelous historic mansions, all set against the backdrop of lush hills. Sintra’s many castles include the Palácio Nacional de Sintra (a main abode of Portuguese royalty until the early 20th century), the hilltop and storybook Palácio da Pena, Quinta de Regaleira (incorporating several architectural styles and with gorgeous surrounding gardens), the Castelo dos Mouros (Moorish Castle), and the Palácio de Monserrate.

I found Cabo da Roca to be beautiful and the ocean crashing against the cliffs. There are some hiking trails to explore, well worth the trip out here.

Greenwalk is a tour operator with a slightly different approach. Our driving force is to ensure that Portugal becomes a great experience rather than a great visit to our customers. In the first place comes the deep knowledge of our country allowing us to provide access to unique spots in very different levels. All our guides are highly educated on the earth sciences field and very enthusiastic about the singularities of our culture being able to put on amazing perspectives of every spots, even the very touristic ones. And finally the variety of our services on different spots; during our trips we always offer walks, hikes, bike trails, off road or relaxing jeep tours, and on the coast line - surfing. Whatever are the tastes and physical conditions of our guests we can adapt and ensure that they'll enjoy Portugal to the fullest. Our customers can expect a very qualified and passionate team promoting nature contact, scientific and cultural knowledge and, of course, fun and relax.
