Sintra is where the ultra wealthy would escape to during the hot Lisbon summers. It's filled with palaces, castles and chateaus from the 19th century and before. It's truly magical.

I'm at a loss for how to describe Sintra. "Magical kingdom from a fairytale" I suppose. It has to be experienced to be understood.
Off to Lisbon tomorrow and then on to the boat Tuesday!
