Serra de Sintra

Located west of Lisbon, it belongs to the sedimentary fringe of Estremadura. It is 10 kilometers long, 5 kilometers wide and 30 kilometers in perimeter, reaching its maximum altitude (540 meters) at Cruz Alta. Integrated into the Sintra/Cascais Natural Park, it is divided into two landscapes: one is the extensive agricultural area north of Colares that encompasses the São João das Lampas plateau, the other is the coastal strip between the mouth of the Falcão River and the Citadel of Cascais, ending at Cabo da Roca. Presenting magnificent natural beauty, due to the variety of vegetation, paths and lakes, it is also very rich in cultural terms, due to the enormous collection of monuments and farms it brings together.
