Hiking Sintra: Sintra Natural Park is an amazing location for hiking – a hidden gem just outside the capital of Portugal, Lisbon. Its unique vegetation and micro-climate and the fact that it’s so close to the ocean are some of the many reasons why you should explore Sintra Natural Park by foot. Sintra’s mountain range or locally the Serra de Sintra covers about 16 km from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Sintra to Cabo da Roca on the Atlantic Ocean. Its highest point is at 530 meters. Sintra was known to the Ancient World as Lunae Mons (mountains of the Moon) and was the legendary retreat of Diana the Huntress (Cynthia to the Romans, hence Çintra).
