Side View


Monserrate Palace at the Sintra Mountain Range

It seems summer has finally arrived, 30ºC+ are expected the next 10 days (and a fire has already taken place in a nearby natural reserve!...)

Blue Fountain


The original fountain was built in 1709, in Sintra, but it collapsed after the 1755 Great Earthquake and it was rebuilt two years later

Window Replica



Pena Palace, Sintra

I honestly don't like replicas but I think this window deserves being shown. Actually, it's not exactly a replica, as you can check by clicking on what must be the most famous window in Portugal which can be seen at the Convent of Christ in Tomar, 115 kms NE of Lisbon.
