Only by the natural geography of Sintra, inserted between valleys, it favors the existence of several viewpoints on the village. Add to that the romantic landscapes of rare and exotic trees plus the romantic architecture of the palaces and farms built here, the result could only be one: panoramic views over the village that look like the most beautiful paintings in the world.
