    Beautiful route set right on the coast behind the dunes and in front of and through pine forests and wild scrub/heather. Take extra care to stay on the track and respect this pristine wilderness. Left the trail twice for...

    The whole track is on a Natura 2000 protected area so it's forbidden to drive there

    Wonderful scenery on the coast. Unfortunately we didn't get on the trail in Sintra because of a blockade. Aborted due to time. In Sintra we drove rather chaotically, here we better find our own route.
