    My wife and I thought Sintra was fantastic! We were sorry to run out of time before exploring the Pena Palace. Truly outstanding photos here of the Quinta da Regaleira!! Umm, now that Bacalhau dish has made me hungry!

    Hi malena, I'm very happy with all my trips. You are right, Sintra is usually grey but I got lucky and had a great day there!

    Hallo Paula! How are you? Sintra was lovely, but it rained too much when I visited!
