CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE - Between the mountains and the sea on a mountain bike
Sintra
Without doubt the best way of getting to see the great architecture and scenery of Sintra is by mountain bike. We have several different circuits with varying degrees of difficulty which can all be done at your own pace and you’ll get to see the sights close up. Discover Monserrate Palace, Capuchos Convent, Monge, Peninha, Azóia, Cabo da Roca, Fojo da Adraga and Praia da Adraga on a 12 km route. Or you could opt for a less strenuous circuit of 7 km going through Monge, Capuchos Convent, Rampa da Pena, Caminho dos Castanhais and back to the town of Sintra. However, if you’d like something decidedly more adventurous, choose the 14 km route which ends up in Sintra after passing through Monserrate, Capuchos, Monge, Peninha, Rio da Mula and Rampa da Pena. Whatever route you choose, you’ll always be accompanied by a guide and you’ll have a fantastic experience.
