The van pulls off the coastal road and the air changes — sea salt replaces city smog, and the hills ahead begin to wear fog like a slow-moving cloak. You step into Sintra’s microclimate: a place where stone mansions shrug off centuries and gardens push ferns through cracks in the masonry. This private tour stitches the town’s high-romantic sites and the Atlantic’s raw coastline into a day that moves from gothic grottoes to wind-buffed cliffs.
