SINTRA - Romantic Capital

WELCOME TO SINTRA!

Sintra is the only place in the country in wich history has become a garden, because all it's legends converge there and it's very monuments speak less of the past than of an eternal present of greenery. Louvar Amar (To Praise, To Love), Vergílio Ferreira.

"A magical place on the edge of Europe", thus defined Sintra the American newspaper Chicago Tribune.

Extensa e rica, a gastronomia de Sintra faz crescer água na boca a qualquer "bom garfo".

Dos pratos de carne, destacam-se o leitão de Negrais, a carne de porco às Mercês, o cabrito e a vitela assada. O litoral da região de Sintra é abundante em peixe fino, mariscos e moluscos. Assim, é possível comer um apetitoso robalo ou sargo, deleitar-se com um polvo, ou saborear mexilhões e percebes.

Na doçaria, o destaque vai, inevitavelmente, para as queijadas de Sintra, doce ancestral que vem, pelo menos, da Idade Média. Mas há outros que merecem ser provados: os travesseiros, os pastéis da Pena, as nozes de Galamares, os fofos de Belas, a par de um conjunto de compotas tradicionais fabricadas segundo métodos tradicionais.

A acompanhar qualquer refeição, é indispensável o vinho de Colares, com a famosa casta Ramisco, um dos primeiros da carta de vinhos de Portugal.

Os sentidos apuram-se. As iguarias regalam os olhos… e o paladar.

Sintra is the only place in the country in wich history has become a garden, because all it's legends converge there and it's very monuments speak less of the past than of an eternal present of greenery.
