Itinerary
Capuchos Convent
Capuchos Convent
Start the day climbing up to the mountains and going deep into the woods. The first stop that you might choose to take is Convento dos Capuchos, a Franciscan Convent built in direct contact with nature and in keeping with a philosophy of extreme architectural and decorative simplicity. This is was a place of worship and living and now is just a small and magical building that reminds us of how to be one with nature. It is also known as the “Cork convent” because of the extensive use of cork in the protection and decoration of its tiny spaces.
Sanctuary of Peninha
Sanctuary of Peninha
After this stop you’ll find the Sanctuary of Peninha. You will have a breathtaking 360˚ view, with the beautiful green vegetation of the Sintra Mountains and the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean. At an altitude of 450 meters you can even spot the city of Lisbon on a clear day. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the panorama.
