Waiting for a bus in Sintra, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Sintra is a municipality in the Grande Lisboa subregion (Lisbon Region) of Portugal, considered part of the Portuguese Riviera. The municipality contains two cities: Queluz and Agualva-Cacйm. The population in 2011 was 377,835, in an area of 319.23 square kilometres (123.26 square miles).

Sintra is known for its many 19th-century Romantic architectural monuments, which has resulted in its classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although its heritage in buildings and nature is the most visible face of the historic individuality of Sintra, a whole literary heritage has made the area a legendary reference in Portuguese culture.

It has become a major tourist centre, visited by many day-trippers who travel from the capital Lisbon. In addition to the Sintra Mountains and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park, the parishes of the town of Sintra are dotted with royal retreats, estates, castles and other buildings, including the mediaeval Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena National Palace and the Sintra National Palace.

Hello Stephen, No more views of Pena Palace? I wonder if you saw also Regaleira and Castelo? There are so many fascinating places and Sintra itself is very nice too. splendid excursion from Lisbon.

Kind regards Malgo

Hello,
Nice image from that small town. I remember that bus station, it was very crowdy last summer so we choose to walk to the castles.

Hello Stephen,

The bright yellow orange facade of the building at left contrasts well with the blue sky to give a wonderful warm cold colour contrast. One of the more attractive bus stop views for sure. Tfs!

Hello Stephen,
The buildings are quite nice and the people make the view more lively. The green plants also fill the foreground well. It's a nice and well exposed photo.
Kind regards,
