After exploring the Moorish Castle we decided to walk back into town. It was about a 1.5 km walk, down a winding path through a shady forest. Being downhill it was was much easier going but, as it was a little wet, we needed to be mindful of slipping. We got lovely views of the town as we made our way down.

Our first stop on arriving back in town was at a cafe to have some afternoon tea. We had a Travesseiro de Sintra (Sintra pillow) pastry, which was very nice, with a coffee and this gave us the caffeine and sugar hit required to do a little more exploring around Sintra.

While going up to the Peña Palace on the bus, we had noticed some sculptures along the main road which are part of a public Art Exhibition. There were a number of excellent pieces on display. We then headed back to the hotel for a bit of R & R before heading out for dinner.Читать далее
