Operated by Black Spark · Sintra, Lisbon
You pull out of Lisbon before the late-morning crush and the city peels away—tile roofs sliding past, the Tagus narrowing into memory. The luxury car hums along the A5 and then curls up into the Serra de Sintra, where mist can hang to the tree line and a riot of color crowns a hill: Pena Palace. The guide parks at a viewpoint and the palace seems to dare you to believe its improbable palette—ochre walls, Moorish battlements and Romantic spires—while the ocean waits, patient and distant.
