Castelo dos Mouros, Sintra, Portugal Moorish Castle – Sintra
Monuments
Skirting two Sintra mountain ranges, the Moorish Castle dates back to the early days of the Moorish occupation of the Peninsula - the eighth century.
After many attempts, was finally taken by Dom Afonso Henriques first king of Portugal in 1147, and was built the first Christian Chapel of the city, dedicated to St. Peter of Penaferrim.
In the romantic period, in 1860, the walls were restored under the supervision of Dom Fernando II, husband of Dona Maria II, who wooded the surrounding areas, and gave a new dignity to the ancient medieval ruins. Noteworthy is the Moorish Cistern inside and the so-called Royal Tower.
Located about 3.5 km from the historic center of Sintra.

Surrounded by lush greenery, Palácio da Regaleira is a fascinating discovery.
The palace was built in a romantic revivalist style, imitating Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance architectural and decorative forms, mixed with mythical and esoteric symbolism.
A special mention is reserved for the Holy Trinity Chapel, where visitors can take a spiral staircase down to the crypt to discover the monumental initiation pit that, deep down, leads through a cave to an amazing lake hidden in the middle of the gardens. .

Phillip was good , he had some great recommendations and was engaging .
The description of the tour was deceiving. Based on the description we had a different idea of how the wine tasting will be which was different from how it was described .
But sintra was beautiful and Philip was spot on and had done good insights .

We booked the day trip to Sintra with a stop at a wine vineyard. Our guide, Luis, was very knowledgeable about the area and Portugal as a whole. The tour included a stop at a local cafe where we had the opportunity to try the regional desserts, which are far tastier than the pastel de nata and something we never would have experienced on our own.
Luis warned us that Sintra would be very busy and full of tourists, but we did not anticipate the amount of traffic that we would have to sit in to get to Pena Palace. Once you arrive at the park there is then another wait if you want to see the insides of the palace, which we were fine with not seeing. If Pena Palace is the main reason you are doing the tour I would recommend discussing with your guide and starting at Pena Palace first.
In addition to Pena Palace, we also made stops in the town, at a local vineyard (Adega Regional de Colares), and Cabo da Roca - the westernmost point of continental Europe. Overall, we enjoyed the day and the places we saw along the way.
