Possibility of visiting the National Palace of Sintra, located in the historic center of the village, which was inhabited for almost eight centuries by Portuguese monarchs and the court. It was widely used, especially during the Middle Ages, for support during hunting periods, or during the summer months, due to the milder climate of the village.
Farol do cabo da Roca

Cabo de Roca is the westernmost point of the European continent, where the Earth ends and the sea begins, as Luís de Camões wrote (in Os Lusíadas, Canto VIII), the Lighthouse, 165 meters high, dates from 1772, here we can see the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean, revealing one of the most emblematic places in Portugal.
Boca do Inferno

The name “Boca do Inferno” attributed to this place is due to the morphological analogy and the tremendous and frightening impact of the waves there.
