Sintra is a lovely town in the hills outside Lisbon. Wealthy families and royals spent time in Sintra. The Moorish- and Manueline-style Sintra National Palace has a variety of styles on the exterior.
The palace windows offer fine views to the villas and estates on the hillsides.
The palace interior is distinguished by elaborate tile work and decorated ceilings.
Very nice restaurants and shops are on two sides of the palace
and also run up and down the steep hillside.
Cascais is a popular seaside town.
Many Portuguese sidewalks and plazas have elaborate black and white cobbled patterns.
The plaza in front of the Cascais town hall was particularly good.
