Sintra:
Sintra is a municipality just outside of Lisbon that is famed for its historically significant architecture,
and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a huge
center for tourism, too.
It was amazingly beautiful, even to my eye, which is usually not overly stirred by human construction.
It was also interesting in having a climate different from anything else I saw in Portugal. It was extremely humid and cool, and
the lush moist vegetation reflected this.
The photographs above are a few moments from an ascent we made to an old Moorish castle.
