Have you ever imagined a town that looks like one of those fairy tales we used to read when we were children?
Well, this place exists and it is called Sintra.
Sited in centre of Portugal, perched on the Hill of the Moon, Sintral boasts spectacular architecture, delicious climate and lush vegetation.
Join me exploring the town with its narrow streets and jaw-dropping Velvederes (view points)… You will learn about its history in juicy anecdotes and interesting (and fun) facts. A town chosen by the Romantic artists as a retreat for inspiration, Sintra will change your idea of beauty. Sintra, with a mysterious building that belonged to a wealthy man and hosted ceremonies for wealthy adepts of cults and members of logias, an obsessive king that bankrupted the country to build a palace,a foreign poet that stayed in an inn and worked in his poems and love deeds day and night. An impossible network of tunnels inside the mountain and much more in this town which may have a beautiful sun above but is rurounded in mystery and legend!
Meet me in Sintra, let me take you to a dream!

An experienced traveller and Tour Manager, I just can´t get enough of the amazingly beautiful country I live! Based in the Central Region of Portugal, I've been showing the country to those who I have had the pleasure to be their guide.
My background in Jewish and Arab studies in the University Complutense in Madrid, my knowledge as a local of the places l show and my experience in different fields as musician, graphic artist and clay artist are the perfect seasoning for an in-depth-but-fun experience.
A proud member of the Walk With Me team, I showcase three different visits that will delight you:
- The simply spectacular fairy-tale-like town of Sintra.
- The jaw-dropping streets and landscapes of the elegant, sophisticated, but at the same time traditional and art-focused town of Cascais - part of the so called Portuguese Riviera.
- And last but not least (at all!), the romantic medieval town of Obidos, will will take you to a legendary past.
I can't wait to show them to you :-)
See you in Portugal!
