I arrived in the airport of Lisbon and my friend Jorge directly drove me to Sintra, a neighbouring city with picture perfect sceneries. We went to the city center to eat Almond Pillows in a shop called Piriquita.
Right next to that was the Palacia Nacional de Sintra(National Palace of Sintra). I was very excited with this monument as this palace has two grand chimneys. The chimneys are the highlights of this palace when you see it from outside.
My friend told me that there are many many things to see and probably if time permits then we visit this one. Seriously in Europe every corner has a monument. But my eyes were on this. We enjoyed the Almond pillows and left.
I went to Sintra many times during my stay in Portugal and this monument caught my attention on many occasions both from far and near. But between an overflowing "to-do" list I missed visiting the Palacio Nacional de Sintra.
Really, the more you see a place, the more you know the unseen.
Definitely this would be my to do list in Portugal next time.
