Hands down, one of my favourite places in Portugal is Sintra. Set in the lush hills outside of Lisbon, it is home to palaces, castles, steep, winding cobblestone streets, and one of Fred's favourite pasty shops; A Piriquita. We went up there at least three times during our trip. Here are some pics from the first visit.
At Cabo da Roca - the western most point of Europe
It was a wee bit windy
Don't worry, I was holding her tight

Poppa and his girl
Mattias trying some Portuguese cuisine... Caldo Verde (kale soup). He likes it!
Chasing pigeons
He REALLY likes it
Castle of the Moors (way up in the top of the picture) looking down on Sintra
Trying some unknown dessert at A Piriquita. For all my D-Moms, NO idea on the carb count!

Amazing place, and beautiful pics of the family. Looks like you all had a wonderful time.
I just have one nagging question...where were all the residents of Sintra? The streets looked empty.
