Travel Itinerary

Start the day like a local with warm travesseiros de Sintra and espresso while watching fishermen set out.

Stroll the wooden boardwalk above ochre cliffs, spotting surfers and colourful boats pulled onto the sand.

Finish the short hike at this surf hub; watch riders carve waves while you sip a galão (milky coffee).

Taste just-caught dourada or robalo grilled over charcoal, served with roasted potatoes and ocean views.

End the day on the glass-floored skywalk above Ribeira d'Ilhas for golden-hour shots of surf and cliffs.
