    The trail along the ancient walls of the Moorish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) in Sintra is one of the most impressive experiences you can have in the region. This medieval castle, built in the 9th century by the Moors, perches on a rocky ridge in the Serra de Sintra, offering spectacular views and a complete immersion in history and nature.
