Unwind and get settled in and then join Liz for a gentle yoga class to stretch after the flight. Let the exploring begin! We’ll walk the whitewashed old town, the old harbour and lighthouse. A fifteen-minute walk from the picturesque marina is Boca do Inferno (Hell’s Mouth), a natural arch formed by the relentless crashing of Atlantic waves. In the evening, we will visit a local restaurant for an authentic Portuguese dinner.
DAY 2 Thursday August 8th, 2019
After breakfast we will take a full day trip to the magical, medieval town of Sintra. There’s an imposing ruined Moorish castle perched high on a hill, gothic palaces and brightly coloured mansions.
Gothic Quinta da Regaleira has mystical gardens with celestial symbols, tunnels, lakes and towers complete with a moss-lined well with arches in the walls and a spiral staircase leading to the base. The stuff of fairy tales! Further out from the town centre are the National Palace of Queluz and the Palace of Monserrate.

The lighthouse has long served as a beacon of light for sailors at one of the busiest and most important shipping lanes in the world serving as a link to the Americas and Africa.
