By the time you pull into Sintra the air tastes different — cooler, sharp with eucalyptus and salt. The route threads narrow lanes to Pena Palace, which perches high above the town on a rounded crest roughly 500 meters above sea level; its painted facades and Moorish arches feel like a theatrical promise that the land itself has something staged for you.

Sintra grew as a royal and Romantic retreat in the 18th and 19th centuries; its eclectic palaces reflect Moorish, Manueline and Romantic influences and the town is within a protected natural park.
