3
Stop 3
Now it is time to enter through the beautiful Serra de Sintra, crossing pretty old, bucolic streets, where the royal charrets passed and, a few kilometers later, we reached the westernmost point of Europe – Cabo da Roca – whose mountains, with a height of 140 meters, end by the sea and so ends Europe. On site, there is a lighthouse, a gift shop and a coffee shop.
4
Descending the Serra de Sintra, our route reaches the wild Praia do Guincho, one of the surfers' favourites. Because it winds too much, the waves are larger and attract athletes. Tourists are attracted by the unique beauty of the place.
5
Stop 5
Our next destination is the famous rocky formation by the sea, the Mouth of Hell. The name of the locality is due to the impact of the waves hitting the rocks, which often seem to shake the ground. The sun reflecting in the water is very beautiful, as it blends the serenity of the open sea with the strength of the waves that go against the rocks.

Stop 6
Our tour ends in the charming Vila de Cascais, where we will stroll through the Historic Center.
