Sintra, Cascais & Estoril: Lands of stories, myths & legends
Sintra, a summer area for nobles during the monarchy, with a mild climate conducive to relaxation, but with an ancient history. Known since ancient times as “Mons Lunae”, the Sacred Mount of the Moon, where rituals celebrating the star were often carried out. A place of abundant food and water, which is believed to have healing powers, it also had the advantage of being able to protect the royal family in the event of riots in Lisbon, due to its short distance to the capital, also fueling countless stories of plots of behind the scenes, palace coups and decisions that changed the course of history. The Renaissance era once and for all cemented the aura that is today its trademark, of a village inseparable from its mountains, described by renowned writers who fell in love when setting foot in this eden that D. Fernando II knew how to interpret so well. Protected even today by an invisible dome that prevents the modern from taking over the classic and romantic aspect of the town, combined with its status as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is one of the best places to visit. Along with Cascais and Lisbon, the town of Sintra formed a golden triangle of leisure for the royal family and its court. After a few days of rest and hunting in the Sintra mountains, the next stop would be in Cascais, an old fishing village, to use its beaches and relax a little more, then returning to Lisbon and summarizing the real tasks.
