Itinerary
Transfer from Lisbon to Azóia
Welcome to Portugal!
After your arrival, our guide will take you to Azóia, on the coastline close to the westernmost point of mainland Europe: Cape da Roca. Being part of the Sintra municipality, it is a charming place known for its wineries and special vines planted in sandy soils and maritime climates. We recommend that you walk around and enjoy the ocean breeze, taste some good Portuguese food, and rest in your charming hotel in preparation for the days to come.
Hike from Azóia to Praia Grande
Explore and conquer the stunning Cape Roca!
After a delicious breakfast, you will emerge into a scenery over the cliffs where the ocean stretches as far as your eyes can see. After you leave your accommodation, the path will lead you to Cape Roca - the westernmost point of mainland Europe, where you can see a beautiful lighthouse illuminating this coast since 1772. Along this rocky promontory hides a wild and beautiful beach, which goes by the name of Ursa (Bear)! You will also find the beautiful beach of Adraga, a great option for lunch. From here, you will head on to Praia Grande, where you will stay for tonight.

Discover the enchanted village and forests of Sintra!
Today will be a gorgeous day! Leave Praia Grande and hike towards the forest. Surrounded by a unique beauty, you will find the incredible Franciscan Capuchos Convent, which stands out for its simplicity. Build in the rock and lined up with cork, the convent is a witness of the humble austere living of the Franciscan friars who lived there. Later, you will have the opportunity to visit the Monserrate Palace, a neo-gothic mansion revealing a brilliant example of the romantic period that left such an imprint in Sintra. Your day will end at the historical center of Sintra’s village. Use the free time to stroll around the village, and discover little intriguing details, romantic corners, and some delicious regional pastries.

This day will be reserved for exploring the hills above the village of Sintra.
The goal is to enjoy the vast architectural patrimony set on the mountain.

Starting with the Moorish Castle and the fabulous Pena Palace, with its exuberant and exotic gardens.
