The winding paths in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park meander through dense forests, over granite boulders, and past numerous open viewpoints. Sometimes the trail climbs steeply, sometimes it's a gentle, rolling ride – ideal for staying in the flow. Those who wish can take short photo stops along the way and enjoy the blend of forest scents, sea air, and panoramic views.

Beautiful park that has unfortunately lost its charm due to the masses of tourists.
