Day trips: Sintra, Cascais, Estoril...: Parque da Pena (Penas' Park)
  • Tip Rating:

  • Entangled in an increasingly stressful life, we sometimes forget how small pleasures can become a great source of joy. Weekends are therefore the best moments to strengthen the relationship between the older and the younger generations. To rediscover the pleasure of walking amidst nature is the suggestion offered by Sintra Parks’ Parents and Children Programme.

    The walk in Pena Park’s Romantic Garden introduces one to the cultural movement in which the garden was set – romanticism. During the walk, manifestations of D. Fernando II’s creative genius are presented as typical examples of the romantic aesthetics, and, at the same time, the historical context of the romantic period in Europe and in Portugal will be referred. Using Pena’s Romantic Garden as the setting, and through the reading of prose and poetry, the various topics that characterized the Portuguese romantic literature of the period will be presented.

    The walk takes place every third Saturday of the month, at 3.00 p.m.
    Fee: adults - € 8; young people and senior citizens - € 6; children under 5 years old – free

    Day trips: Sintra, Cascais, Estoril...: Picnic in a vineyard

  • One of the best meals, and best times of my life was a picnic in the Durro region of Portugal. We were given a tour of the vineyard, and shown their old stores of wines, and then taken to a restaurant on premises, where a fabulous meal was presented. We were given appetizers of local sausages, and wines, followed by a four course meal, more wines, and dessert. Service was professional, food was five star, and the cruise mates and we had one of the most memorable trips of our 15 day cruise. Fabulous.
