Sintra Portugal

Sintra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on account of its 19th century Romantic architecture, which Lord Byron described as being the most beautiful in the world.
Sintra has become a major tourist attraction, with many day-trippers visiting from nearby Lisbon. Attractions include the fabulous Pena Palace(19th c.) and the Castelo dos Mouros (reconstructed 19th c.) with a breath-taking view of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, and the summer residence of the kings of Portugal Palácio Nacional de Sintra (largely 15th/16th c.), in the town itself. The Sintra Mountain Range, one of the largest parks in the Lisbon area, (Serra de Sintra) is also a major tourist attraction.

What is the name of the first music ? Strangely it sounds like an old french music but the instruments sounds portuguese.

[eurodestination]

@dash94 It's from a Fado compilation from Coimbra

All of this is soooo much pretier during the night. I'm portuguese and I think that this video doesn't transmit the right appearance of this amazing village. You should have filmed other spots, and the town center during the night

[eurodestination]

@triloblitz I will do when I have time - I was accompanied by a guide and therefore not able to spend as much time as I would otherwise like

What's the song?

[eurodestination]

@khryz1315 It is a Fado song performed by a group from Coimbra University which was given to me by a guide - that's all I know I'm afraid

This might sound really weird but seriously for a couple of years now, for the last maybe 5 years, I’ve been having this gut feeling or intuition like a voice inside me tells me that I’ll meet my future husband for the first time in Sintra, Portugal!!! How weird!!!!! LOL! All I know is that I want to marry in this place!!!!!!!

[Lady4everCanuckk]

@jjsep60 AHAHAHAHAH Right! LOL But, but, but I don’t wan to live in Portugal! I don’t like living in Portugal! I just want to visit it once in a while, that’s all. I even love Canadian winters and the snow! No offence at all to Portugal and to the people who live there.

[LadyforeverCanuck]

Thanks for making me laugh with your comical message! AHAHAHAHAH Princes and fairy-tales???? I don't believe in fairy tales and I’m not interested in princes or nobility!! LOL!!!
