Azenhas do Mar is the name of this village. It is near the cape named Cabo da Roca, the most western point of the European Continent. Except for the islands, the nearest village to the left (west) is somewhere in North America. Symbolically, this picture shows also that space is not so plentiful in Europe as it is in North America. Azenhas do Mar is situated in a picturesque valley, its white houses perched on the North Slope, is one of the most appreciated and interesting beaches, with swimming pools dug out of the rock. The miradouro das Azenhas do Mar is built on cliffs that drop fearlessly to the ocean. It is a popular place both in Summer and Winter, due to the grandeur of the view it offers. There, you can admire the Atlantic Ocean in all its splendor and, with a little luck, watch fishing trawlers sail far away. Only 45 minutes away from Lison Airport.
Head from Lisbon towards Europe’s most westerly point with the Atlantic beyond and you enter the enchanting scenery of the Serra da Sintra – a verdant forested upland that has long been the inspiration of poets. Here, in a romantic medley of architectural styles, palaces, castles, stately homes and well-to-do homes stand proudly in leafy grounds or tucked along lush country lanes.
The cobbled lanes of Sintra’s old town are strewn with pretty houses, fascinating curio shops and little cafés, luring many visitors. But the main attraction is the National Palace, its unmistakable conical chimney stacks standing proud over the town. Loftier still, crowning Sintra’s mountain peak, the Palacio de Pena is a colourful 19th century palace built in an eccentric Romantic style and almost Disney-like in appearance.
Historically, Sintra’s elevated hills offered a cool retreat for Lisbon’s aristocrats and gentrified society in the height of summer. Today, it still retains its status as a highly desirable area for the well-heeled, and properties here are much sought-after.
