Sintra

Our day out to Sintra was rather wet and foggy. We got a little lost on the one-way, one-lane, twisty narrow roads in the rain, and as we weren’t even really sure where we were going, it was an interesting day! We ended up visiting Monserrate and, after some breathtaking and angst-inducing roads, we also stopped to explore Castelo dos Mourinhos. The gardens at Monserrate were lush and exotic, the building richly ornamented, and at Castelo dos Mourinhos, the ruins were fascinating and the views were amazing. Despite the weather, it was a great day!
