Walkhike

This tour takes you to visit two wonderful gardens and its monuments, besides a lovely hike inside the Sintra forest connecting both monuments. The first is “Capuchos Convent”, probably the most important testimony of the Sintra primeval forest, preserved by the brotherhood of Franciscan friars and their austere monument carved in stone. The second is “Montserrat Gardens and Palace”, which is one of the most beautiful creations of the Romanticism landscape, immortalized by Lord Byron, “Monserrate” is one of the most famous and exotic European Victorian gardens. 

Our hike begins at the continental Europe westernmost point, Cape Roca, where “the land ends and the sea begins”. This ancient fisherman's path leads us to discover the untouched beauty of wild Ursa beach, considered by Michelin Guide as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Continuing along impressive cliffs hugged by the mighty Atlantic, we will approach the Fojo, a natural well that connects to the sea and where the most daring can look to the 90 meters deep and find if the Romans had reason to believe that deep down there was a Triton playing music in a conch. The hike ends at the beautiful Adraga beach, considered by the Sunday Times one of the 20 best beaches in Europe.
