Itinerary description

Start your hike in Azoia, a small village, and head towards the hills and woods of Sintra. Your first stop is the Anta de Adrenunes, a cool old monument believed to be an ancient burial site. It's got these big standing stones that look pretty neat against the green backdrop.

Continue hiking through the peaceful woods until you reach Convento dos Capuchos. It's an old monastery tucked away among big boulders and trees. This place dates back to 1560 and has small rooms and a chapel made right out of the local rock. They've used cork on the walls to keep it warm. It’s part of Sintra’s UNESCO heritage, blending so well with nature it looks like it’s part of the forest.

The hike is a great way to see a mix of nature and history, with the woods, ancient stones, and an old monastery all in one go. It’s like walking through a simple and quiet part of Portugal's past, enjoying the fresh air and greenery along the way.
