After lunch, we will ride until the magical coastline to visit Azenhas do Mar and Adraga beaches. We will continue our adventure through off-road paths to achieve the most astonishing view point of all region, a secret gem that most can't access. From there we will continue to the Roca Cape, the most western point of continental Europe, a favorite spot for many visitors. Through smoother roads we will ride through the coastline, passing Guincho beach and Boca do Inferno until we reach the beach town of Cascais. From here you can go back to Lisbon by train.

1
Park and National Palace of Pena
1 hour 30 minutes
This is one of the most visited palaces. Located on top of the hill and with amazing views over the region and the Moorish castle, this 19th-century palace has a lot to explore. See how the kings and queens lived in its interior and visit the exuberant gardens. This palace may be overcrowded so that it can be difficult to visit the interior, depending on the group's decision, you can visit another palace instead.
2
Castelo dos Mouros
The Moorish Castle is a fortress on top of a hill with amazing views over the region and the Pena Palace. It's a nice place but we would recommend to see the palaces instead.

One of the oldest palaces is located right in the historical center of Sintra. Depending on the group's decision about which monuments to visit you can either visit Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace or the historical center and its National Palace of Sintra.

Quinta da Regaleira is a nice palace and garden complex with many symbols related to the Maçonary and the Templar orders. Get lost in its Iniciatic Well and the tunnels of this esoteric place.
