The Park and the Palácio da Pena, set in the Sintra mountain range, an inheritance of the creative genius of D. Fernando II, are the ultimate exponent of XIX century Romanticism in Portugal, with architectural references of Manueline and Moorish influence.

On the trip to Cabo da Roca, we will pass by the typical village of Colares.
