Our family of four had a wonderful day exploring the outskirts of Lisbon. We were picked up at 7:45am by Adolpho from our hotel in a can that we shared with another family.
Our first (short) stop was at the Cabo da Roca…the western-most point in Europe. We just spent 10 mins there for photos, and then went to Sintra
First thing at Sintra was a stop at a pastry shop to get authentic Portuguese pastries. The pastries there were great…and cheap! In fact, all of the food recommendations by Adolpho were on the mark
The palace itself was a long, uphill walk…but manageable. Adolpho did a great job explaining everything, and pointing out “curiosities”.
Our last stop was at Caiscais beach for a delicious lunch (get the octopus!) and a good gelato place as well.
We were back by 4:00pm at our hotel. Great experience
