About this experience
During this UNIQUE EXPERIENCE we vow to make you feel like a LOCAL! Away from the CROWDS and typical touristic spots, we'll guide you through the WONDERS of Sintra, often described as a fairy tale!!
We begin by heading to the HISTORICAL village of SINTRA! Although the Pena Palace is wonderful, we want you to take in the wonders of the NATURAL PARK.
If you wish to see the Pena we will not stop you!
Next up local gourmet shop called "Casa Piriquita" and try the famous Queijada de Sintra and Travesseiros - a dessert made of puff pastry with a filling of almond cream. A perfect breakfast in the perfect SPOT!
