Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Quinta da Regaleira, Rua Barbosa do Bocage, Sintra 2710-567 Portugal
Quinta da Regaleira is one of the most amazing monuments of the Serra de Sintra. Situated at the end of the historic center of the village, it was built between 1904 and 1910, in the last period of the monarchy. The romantic domains that once belonged to the Viscountess of Regaleira were acquired and expanded by Dr. António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920) to found his place of choice. The architecture and art of the palace, chapel and other constructions were scenically conceived in the context of an Edenic garden, emphasizing the predominance of neo-Manueline and Renaissance styles. The garden, a representation of the microcosm, is revealed by the succession of places imbued with magic and mystery. Paradise is materialized in coexistence with an inferius – a Dantesque underground world – to which the neophyte would be led by Ariadne’s thread of initiation. With these scenarios, the representation of an initiatory journey, as vera peregrinat mundi, is concretized, through a symbolic garden where we can feel the Harmony of the Spheres and peer into the alignment of an ascesis of consciousness that travels through the great epics. There are glimpses of mythology, Olympus, Virgil, Dante, Camoes, the Templar mission of the Order of Christ, great mystics and thaumaturgists, the enigmas of the Royal Art, the Great Alchemical Work. This stone symphony reveals the poetic and prophetic dimension of a Luso Philosopher’s Mansion. Here Heaven and Earth merge into a sensible reality, the same one that presided over the theory of Beauty, Architecture and Music, which the acoustic shell of the Celestial Worlds Terrace allows to propagate to infinity.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Boca do Inferno, Northern section of Cascais, Cascais 2750-642 Portugal
One of the most famous visit points of Cascais is Boca do Inferno, a unique formation in the rocks by the ocean. It is believed that formerly this place was a cave that with time and the force of the sea eventually gave way and gave rise to the scenery as it is known today. Today Boca do Inferno is an open pit with a kind of arch through which sea water enters. On days of rough seas you can hear the sound of water striking the rocks, a noise so unique that it is analogous to the name of the place. Upon reaching Boca do Inferno it is possible to contemplate the beauty of the place from above, however there is also a path that leads to the other side of the “arch” of the cavity, through which the water enters. This place is already very close to the water and you can enjoy the view of the entire rocky coast.
