      SINTRA

      3 April, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      As the sun began to wane, we arrived at the enchanting Moon Hill Hostel, our home for the night. After settling in, we ventured out to explore the picturesque Vila de Sintra, renowned for its romanticist architecture and rich history. The streets were bustling with activity, as vendors sold their wares and musicians serenaded passersby. We marveled at the grandeur of the royal palaces, the Pena National Palace, and the historic estates and gardens, all of which were steeped in centuries-old tales. The Castle of the Moors stood atop a hill, casting a watchful eye over the town below. As we rode in and out of Sintra, we were captivated by its magical charm. Although we only had a few hours to spend, its impression will last forever 💕Baca lagi

      Sintra

      3 Mei 2023, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      --- Enttäuschende Kletterpartie und die Moorish Castle im Regen ---

      Am nächsten Tag wollte ich eigentlich direkt nach Sintra, aber hatte am Abend vorher noch einen Baum-Kletterpark wenige Kilometer entfernt entdeckt. Und da ich genug Zeit für den Tag eingeplant hatte und früh aufgestanden bin habe ich beschlossen noch Klettern zu gehen.
      Online anmelden konnte ich mich nicht, also bin ich so hin gefahren und da es Mittwochmorgen war, war auch zum Glück fast nichts los. Der Eintritt hat 20€ gekostet und aus einer Bewertung konnte ich entnehmen, dass der Parkour etwa 2 Stunden dauern würde...
      Was soll ich sagen... ich war sehr enttäuscht! Inklusive Gurt anlegen, Einführungs-BlaBla, dem eigentlichen Klettern und Gurt zurück geben habe ich knapp eine Stunde benötigt... Die 20€ haben sich nicht wirklich gelohnt^^ es hat zwar spaß gemacht, aber naja es war sehr kurz. Der Kletterwald bestand aus 4 Routen plus Einführung und die Aufstiege wurden vom Personal begleitet und an zwei Plattformen gab es auch einen vom Personal, der einem half um beim schwerfälligen Seilzug keine Probleme zu haben.
      Auch die Komplimente, dass ich ja sehr gut und schnell war, waren zwar nett, aber nicht hilfreich.

      Also wollte ich danach Moorish Castle fahren und stand mal wieder vor dem Parkplatz Problem. Scheinbar kann man da nicht wirklich parken und manche Straßen sind gesperrt. Ich bin dann mit einem kleinen Umweg nach Sintra in das Städtchen gefahren und habe dort mit Mühe einen Parkplatz gefunden. Der Weg zur Moorish Castle war deshalb etwas weiter als geplant, aber nicht unschaffbar. Nachdem ich das Ticket gekauft hatte und ein paar Meter weiter in die Richtung der Äußeren Mauer hat es plötzlich stark angefangen zu regnen. Natürlich hatte ich heute mal meine Jacke im Auto gelassen und habe versucht mich in einem Torbogen unter zu stellen, was nur so halb funktioniert hat...

      Als der schlimmste Regen vorbei war, bin ich weiter gegangen um die Burg zu erkunden. Man musste sehr aufpassen, da nun die Steine nass und rutschig waren. Der Regen hat leider dafür gesorgt, dass man die Aussicht von oben auf dem Berg auf dem die Moorish Castle steht, leider nicht wirklich genießen konnte. Außerdem hat es danach immer mal wieder etwas geregnet, weshalb ich irgendwann ziemlich nass war. Trotzdem war der Ausflug dort hin irgendwie schön und bevor ich wieder zurück zum Auto gegangen bin habe ich mir noch einen Kaffee in dem Mini-Gastro gegönnt.

      Der Weg Bergab zurück zum Auto verlief (anders als erwartet) ohne Ausrutschen oder anderen Unfällen und dann ging es wieder weiter zur nächsten Unterkunft.      Baca lagi

      Sintra

      6 April, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

      After touring the Pena Palace we went into the town of Sintra for lunch. Sintra was full of narrow streets winding up steep hills full of small restaurants and shops. It was quite beautiful but crazy busy with people. For lunch Peg and I decided the best course of action, to find a quiet place to eat, was to climb to the top of the steepest street. Our plan worked great and we found a nice refreshing place for lunch with great service.

      After lunch we had a nice stroll through town while dodging all the tourists. I can’t imagine what the busy summer season must be like.      Baca lagi

      TAG 19

      25 Mei 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Unsere gestrige Reise begann am Bahnhof. Ziel war die Stadt "Sintra", die bekannt für ihre historischen Paläste und Burgen ist.
      Angekommen standen wir vor einem Fahrplan, worauf die verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu finden waren. Die Entscheidung war schwierig, da wir wussten, dass wir nicht alles besuchen können.
      Beschlossen haben wir uns für das Schloss "Quinta da Regaleira". Das Besondere an ihm war ein Abstieg in die Tiefe. Der Ausgang führte uns dann unterirdisch durch einen in den Fels geschlagenen Weg, der in die Nähe zum Palast führte.
      Dieser ist wie alle anderen Paläste ein paar Hunderte Jahre alt, jedoch wurde es nach dem starken Erdbeben 1755 restauriert. Viele Dinge wie Tische und Verzierungen blieben erhalten.
      Weiter ging es dann einen der der 7 Hügeln hinauf, die Lissabon umkreisen. Oben angekommen befand sich der bekannteste Palast, namens "Palazio Pena". Wenn man Sintra in Google eingibt, ist es eins der ersten Bilder die man dazu findet. Dementsprechend war auch der touristische Andrang riesig, weshalb wir uns gegen eine Besichtigung entschlossen. Stattdessen wichen wir auf die Burgruine aus, die ein paar geh Minuten entfernt war. Von dort aus hatte man eine gigantische Aussicht auf das Umland und auch auf den Palast. Nach dem Besuch sind wir dann wieder in die Altstadt herabstiegen und von dort aus mit dem Zug zurück nach Lissabon gefahren :)      Baca lagi

      Day trip to Sintra

      19 Mei 2022, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

      Miles: 8.8 Steps: 22671
      Flights stairs: 64

      We took a 40 min train ride out to Sintra, a small city north west of lisbon. It was another fantastic day - but not for the reasons I expected. We were heading out to see palaces and buildings, but the beauty of the day came from the nature around us.

      We started with the Palace of Peña. Its literally a palace VERY high up on a hill - took an uber from the train station. We’ve been in a few palaces now, and the one in Madrid takes the cake (so far). To be honest, we found this one was somewhat underwhelming inside after seeing such ornate ones elsewhere.

      After touring it, we took a walk thru the National park to the “Castle of the moors”. THIS was incredible - the walk was beautiful and the ruins were amazing. Oldest thing we’ve seen yet. The moors built it in the mid 8th century. I’m not afraid of heights, but at times I was pretty fearful on the ledges.

      After walking all thru the castle and fortress walls, we took another 45 minute walk straight down thru the National park again. There was practically no one else there so it felt so peaceful and serene. That walk was the highlight of our day.

      We ended up at a second palace - the Palace of Sintra. Again, inside was somewhat underwhelming, but interesting.

      The last thing we saw was “Quinta de regaleira”. This was like a garden, but with old towers and a beautiful well we walked down into that led to an underground tunnel system. Really unique.

      Overall the day in Sintra was fantastic. The outside portions stole the show for me. I wish we would have set up a pedometer when we began this trip - may start one as of tomorrow. No idea how far we walked today, but it had to be MANY miles.      Baca lagi

      Sintra – verrückte Bauten

      2 November 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Der Tag beginnt mit Sonne, aber es ist kühl. Wir fahren nach Sintra und unser Navi führt uns zum Schloss Quinta da Regaleira – das zum Weltkulturerbe gehört. Die Fahrt sehr abenteuerlich durch kleine, enge kurvenreiche Einbahnstraßen – Biggi meint sie könnte das nicht fahren. Wir bekommen zum Glück einen Parkplatz im Park von einem 5* Hotel für 15 €. Ansonsten kein Parkplatz mit dem Wohnmobil. Das Schloss hat einen sehr großzügigen Park mit Seen, Grotten, Brunnen, Brücken, unterirdischen Tunnelsystemen und einem Tennisplatz (und das alles an einem Hang). Wir sind einfach nur fasziniert. Dann nehmen wir ein Tuk-Tuk und lassen uns zum Pena Palast bringen. Einfach unglaublich, die Lage auf einem 480 m hohen Hügel, die Architektur mit den farbenfrohen Terrassen und Türmen und der Innenausstattung, wir sind wieder überwältigt. Auf dem Weg zu unserem WoMo mit einem Tuk-Tuk haben wir uns etwas verirrt, finden aber unser WoMo wieder und fahren gegen 16:30 nach Cabo de Roca dem westlichsten Punkt Europas. Dank des guten Wetters ist es windstill und wir erleben einen schönen Sonnenuntergang. Wir finden einen schönen Tagesausklang im Restaurant Maria Wine &Tapas. Am Capo de Roca finden wir auch einen Stellplatz direkt neben dem Leuchtturm.Baca lagi

      Day 84, Sintra

      2 Mei 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

      Common travel story. Sintra is a town known for its castles. We visited three today. As expected: Unique architecture, money, powerful people, turrets, gardens, views, fancy beds. All interesting and (maybe) memorable. 🏰 BUT the highlight of our day had nothing to do with the legacy of royalty. The highlight was meeting over dinner and getting to know two Iranian brothers. Hearing their stories, learning about their histories, sharing their dreams. Lots of laughter ending in the exchange of contact information and hugs. That’s why we travel. Priceless.Baca lagi

      Day Twelve: Sintra

      27 Mac, Portugal ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

      Today, I managed to get a pretty good sleep. But these hostel beds get so hot I was sweating all morning. And to top it off, I woke up with a sore throat. A pretty bad one, too. It felt like knives when I swallowed. But that's OK. We power through. Decided to take public transportation to get to Sintra. It was quite the experience. It was so confusing to actually buy the ticket. Luckily, someone helped us buy it. When we finally got to Sintra, it was pouring rain and super windy. And too made it better our ticket wasn't working and we couldn't leave the train station. We walked around trying to get help and ended up having to jump a fence to get out. But when we finally made it, it was amazing walking into the garden, field, or whatever you would call it, and the rain really did make everything greener. This "castle" was on a hillside with a whole bunch of random ruins, buildings, and paths. We got to walk around in the forest around random walls and get a great view of the valley. There was even this well that went down into the ground. A lot of the descriptions they had around didn't make a lot of sense to me, but this well seemed to be made as an analogy for something. It was about the decent to hell and the light of heaven or something. But there were also some underground paths that were completely dark. You needed a flashlight to get around. It was so spooky and so fun to joke around with ethan in it. There was also the main mansion when the owners lived. It was extravagant and completely over the top, someone who really needed to flex his wealth. It was beautiful, though, for sure. Someplace I couldn't imagine living in. They had a separate pool room and a separate smoking/games room. There were some many different places nestled here that gave us a taste of different architectural styles and so much more. On the way back, we found yet another rooftop bar over looking an even crazier view! But we were both so tired. We crawled our way back home and went to bed early!Baca lagi

      Sintra

      27 Mac, Portugal ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      We finally made it to Sintra today after a few days of thinking about it. I knew Sintra was going to be beautiful, and it still blew my expectations out of the water. To get there we had to take a bus to a train station then buy a pass for the train. The pass worked great at the first station, and then we got to Sintra. we tried scanning our pass to get through the gates and it denied both of us. Even a local couldn't figure it out. He then tried to run behind someone who scanned their card, but the gates slammed in his face and completely bodied him. I laughed so hard in his face, true comedy. We couldn't figure it out either, so we just jumped over a wall to get out lol. We had to hop on another bus, which took us up to Quinta Da Regaleria, where a mansion is built on the side of a mountain on 4 hectares of space. There's so much to see there's no way we didn't miss something even though we spent 5 hours there. We explored caves and tunnels as well as just walking through the garden. Pearse and I made a few "skits" we think are funny. It's so hard to only pick 2 videos for the posts, though. We're off to Porto tomorrow now, so I'd say it was the perfect way to spend the last day in Lisbon.Baca lagi

      Sintra, Portugal

      14 Februari 2023, Portugal

      We're back at it! After returning back to the USA for the holidays and to wait out the winter, we've returned to Europe. We're starting off this leg back where we left off, in the Iberian Peninsula. We flew into Lisbon and traveled to our first stop in Sintra, about 40 minutes west. This time we also have Emily's father John with us for a few weeks.

      Sintra is said by many both past and present to be the most beautiful place in Portugal. It's very easy to see why. Romantic elegance of the old town cobbled streets that meet and disappear into the natural beauty of the forrests,, national parks, and mountains. Sintra is a magical place that boasts grand palaces and castles within walking distance. We were fortunate enough to visit Quinta de Regaleira, Castelo dos Muros, and the palace of Monserrate. They were all outstanding with the later being perhaps our favorite due to its elaborate gardens with plants from across the globe. Just 30km from Lisbon Sintra swept us back in time and had such a storybook feel it was hard not to adore this town. Just beware of the hills and bring good walking shoes!

      While Sintra has evidence of early human settlement from the Paleolithic era and has been occupied by the Romans, it's the Moorish occupation that feels most prominent. As already stated, we visited Castelo dos Muros which was built between the 8th and 9th centuries. While a fortress, it's primary function was that of a lookout point for the surrounding area and the bay leading to Lisbon. The Moors remained in this area until driven out by the first king of Portugal, Alfonzo V, drove them out in 1147.

      Quinta da Regaleira was a private residence. The construction as it is seen today began in 1904. It is rumored to have connections to the Knights Templar and their initiation well.      Baca lagi
