Since Sintra was not on the tour, we decided to make it our first excursion on our own. The Palace (above) was #1 on my list of sites to see and I was not disappointed. It was beautiful inside and out. We were able to see the Moorish Castle (left) from outside of the Palace.
When we came down from the Palace, I snapped this shot of the beautiful hillsides of Sintra.
