More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a cool, air-conditioned vehicle in Lisbon and the city recedes as the coast and low, green peaks of the Sintra Massif slide into view. The Atlantic pushes against high cliffs at Cabo da Roca, daring you to look further, while the road threads through vineyards that cling to sandy soils shaped by wind and sea.

History
Colares DOC is one of Portugal’s oldest controlled denominations; its sandy coastal vineyards preserved vines that other regions lost to phylloxera. Quinta da Regaleira reflects Sintra’s 19th-century Romantic and esoteric influences.
Conservation
The coastal cliffs and small vineyards are ecologically sensitive; stay on paths, avoid disturbing vines, and support producers who maintain low-impact practices.
