A beautiful village at the foot of the eponymous mountain range, whose unique characteristics led UNESCO to create a specific category for this purpose when classifying it as a World Heritage Site—”cultural landscape”—which considers both the natural wealth and the built heritage of the village and the mountain range. The lush mountain range is located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.

Nearby, highlights include the beaches (Maçãs, Praia Grande, and Adraga), Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the European continent, Colares, which gives its name to a demarcated wine region, and the picturesque village of Azenhas do Mar, located on the cliff.
