The mountain of the moon gives tourists art, history and a fantastic views from this Portuguese town on the edge of Europe.
Eccentric millionaire Antonio Augusto Carvalho Monteiro were have gotten a good laugh. We are exploding the mystical grounds of his romantic mansion, inching through pitch-black tunnel, climbing medieval-like turrets, and traipsing along serpentine paths.
Carvalho Monteiro definitely captured the spirits of this magical town only 19 miles north-west of Lisbon, where Portugal s king and aristocrats once spent their summer and tourists now flock on holiday. The Roman call Sintra "the mountain of the moon", and we recognize we are in another world as we take the scenic 20-minute from the train station to town. Pieces of modern art lining a park greet us, and we glimpse two towering white cones peeking trough the trees. They are distinctive chimneys of the National Palace, which dominates historic town center.
