A sanctuary built by popular devotion. High above, at an altitude of 488 meters, the Peninha Sanctuary enchants with its unshakable magic and mystique. Built by popular devotion, the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha (Peninha) arose following a supposed apparition of Our Lady to a poor shepherdess. This architectural complex also includes the centuries-old chapel of São Saturnino and an enigmatic Romantic-Revival mansion commissioned in 1918 by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (owner of Quinta da Regaleira).

Monte Redondo is a limestone elevation with an altitude of around 212 metres. It is located near the town of Ota, and is distinguished by its rounded shape. Whether it is due to the various trails that allow you to observe the surrounding landscape, including the Ota plain and the Tagus River, or due to its proximity to the Chã Alta dam, Monte Redondo is a point of interest for hikers, gravel bikers and nature lovers in general.

I personally recommend climbing up from Sintra (From Lisbon there are many trains). Cycling on those roads gives you amazing landscapes, and from the peak with a clear day it is possible to see the whole of the Lisbon area, from bridge to bridge and much more. No bar nor facilities on the top, all the buildings are closed.

Locally, these small hills are called "cabeços". Cabeço da Silheira is one of the highest in the region, reaching 200m in altitude. It is therefore natural that it was chosen as the site for the installation of water tanks that supply the region's public water supply network. You can reach Cabeço da Silheira via a small asphalt road (very steep) or via one or two existing trails. If you choose to go along the trails, we recommend a mountain bike.

Mythical climb of the Serra de Sintra, from where you can see the entire Cascais coastline.

From the highest point with the summit cross you have a fantastic view and a wonderful view of the palace 🏰.

This sanctuary, along with its chapel and palace, stands on a steep hill, offering visitors a spectacular view of the entire coast. To get to the Santuario da Peninha, you can take the EN-247 road from Cascais/Malveira da Serra or from Sintra/Colares.
