“I highly recommend visiting the Castle of the Moors in Sintra. Climbing the ancient walls and walking through the park is an unforgettable experience. With over a thousand years of history and breathtaking views of the surrounding nature, it's truly worth the visit. Just be aware — it can be extremely windy up there. There are currently no shops or cafés on site, but some construction is underway.”
