Sintra

Tooknthevtrain from Pirto to Sintra, just outside of Lisbon . The weather was cloudy and drizzling. We checked in to our lodging and then went out exploring the town.

We toured a mansion and its grounds. The coolest feature was the Initiation Well, where Templars were initiated. I guess other pagan activities took place as well. At the bottom of the Well were various tunnels that exited at different spots on the property.

We walked through the mansion as well. We planned to visit the other palace in town but the weather wasn't cooperating so we chose to train back to Lisbon for the next part of our trip.Read more
