WELCOME TO WALKS IN PORTUGAL
Walks in Portugal offers a collection of maps and descriptions of walks (available to download in pdf format).
The first in the series of walks is in Sintra, Portugal just down the coast from Lisbon.
Sintra,
‘mountain of the moon’, as it was known by the Celts, its early
settlers, is an enchanting place within easy access of Lisbon. A
fascinating mixture of Roman relics, Moorish ruins, medieval cloisters
and royal palaces. A mountain range of ancient forests abounding in
wildlife. A coastline of rugged cliffs, broken by wild and wonderful
beaches and a microclimate in which exotic gardens flourish. A rich
culture and a natural beauty, which have justly earned its designation
as a Unesco World Heritage site. A magical place waiting for you to
discover.
