Description
Named after Cynthia, Celts´ goodness of the moon, Sintra has been considered for millennia as a cradle of temples and mysteries that gave origin to novels and tales. No doubt one of the most fascinating and romantic sites of Portugal Sintra has a range of Monuments waiting to be visited and local sweets to be sampled!
The natural beauty of Sintra descends from the mountains to the sea. The golden sands, the purity of the Atlantic waters and the outline of the coast with its rugged cliffs, make our beaches a truly enjoyable spot at any time of the year.
The coastline hides truly amazing century-old bays, bathed by the cold, stormy waters of the Atlantic, to the delight of all those who cannot say no to an invigorating dive or the daring adventurers who face the deep blue.
