  Sintra

  The charming Villa de Sintra is one of the most fascinating landscapes in Portugal, where lush nature and history intertwin in a unique way. Classified as a World Heritage Site, Sintra has been the refuge of Portuguese royalty and inspiration for artists and writers over the centuries. During the experience, we addressed its strategic importance, the Arab influences, the period of the monarchy and the 19th century romanticism that shaped the current landscape. Between historic streets and surrounding views, we reveal curiosities, legends and events that have transformed Sintra into an unparalleled cultural and historical symbol.
