Hello adventurers! Today I took a short walk through a site of public interest and quite interesting in the Sintra area, it is located about 20 meters high and you also have an excellent view of the Atlantic, visiting Alto da Vigia allows you to enjoy and learn about the beaches from Portugal and at the same time you will learn general culture since this was classified as a "Necropolis", the beach where the necropolis is located is called: "MaΓ§Γ£s", join me in this small and "nutritious" adventure!ππ©π
Hola aventureros! hoy realice un pequeno paseo por un sitio de interes publico y bastante interesante en la zona de Sintra, se ubica a unos 20 metros de altura y que ademas tienes una excelente vista al atlantico, visitar Alto da Vigia te permite disfrutar y conocer sobre las playas de Portugal y al mismo tiempo aprenderas cultura general ya que esto fue clasificado como una "Necropolis", la playa donde se encuetra la necropolis se llama: "MaΓ§Γ£s", acompaname en esta pequena y "nutritiva" aventura!πππ
I prefer to choose the beaches in the south of Setubal because they don't have waves, they are more beautiful and you can go diving or snorkeling without any problem! here you will shower directly in the ocean making your adventure a little less relaxing! However, it is quite a visit in summer, not only to bathe there are many activities to do here from trails along the coast, climbing, biking or simply coming here to learn a little about ancient Roman culture! I promise you will have a nice family day!ππ
Yo soy mas de escoger las playas de la zona sur de Setubal porque no tienen oleaje, son mas bonitas y se puede hacer buzeo o snorking sin problema! aqui te vas a duchar directamente en el oceano haciendo de tu aventura un poco menos relajante! sin embargo es bastante visita en verano, no solo para banarte hay muchas actividades para realizar aqui desde senderos por toda la costa, escalar, andar en bicicleta o simplemente venir aqui para aprender un poco de la cultura antigua romana! te prometo que pasaras un dia agradable en familia!ππ
The town you see in the background is called: "Rodizio" it has nothing special but there are some cheap hotels to spend a few days of vacation near the beach, on this side of Sintra it is more difficult to pay for any water activity since the tours are more to the south a little closer to the center of Lisbon! therefore it is something more to relax, by the way you have to have your own or rented vehicle here it is impossible to get around with public transport!ππ§
El pueblo que ves de fondo se llama: "Rodizio" no tiene nada de especial pero hay algunos hoteles economicos para pasar unos dias de vacaciones cerca de la playa, en este lado Sintra es mas dificil pagar alguna actividad acuatica ya que los tour son mas al sur un poco mas proximo al centro de Lisboa! por tanto es algo mas para relajarte, por cierto tienes que tener vehiculo propio o alquilado aqui es imposible desplazarte con transporte publico!π§βπ«
Maceira viewpointππ©/ Mirador Maceiraππ







I have to admit that this was my favorite part of the experience, the little path to get to the "Maceira" viewpoint, when you are walking through the vegetation the landscape begins to open up and you have a landscape similar to that of the movie Jurassic Park, you will say that I am exaggerating but it's worth it, it's a 20 minute walk, you can do it with small children!πππ
Tengo que admitir que esta fue mi parte favorita de la experiencia, el pequeno sendero para llegar al mirador "Maceira" cuando estas caminando entre la vegetacion el paisaje se comienza abrir y tienes un paisaje parecido a la de la pelicula Jurassic Park, diras que estoy exagerando pero vale la pena, es una caminata de 20 minutos, puedes hacerla con ninos pequenos!ππ©

















Beautiful landscape, right? In one of my posts about dinosaur footprints, a few kilometers later, it ends up connecting with this trail, however, they are two different environments, since you are at a higher altitude, I would say more than 300 meters. This area was previously a Roman trade route and it is because of that we see some archaeological zones! one of the things that the romans had was to build houses near the sea.πππ
Hermoso paisaje no? en uno de mis post sobre huellas de dinosaurios unos kilometros mas adelante acaba por conectarse con este sendero sin embargo son dos ambientes diferentes aque estas en una altura mayor diria que mas de 300 metros, esta zona anteriormente era una ruta de comercio romana y es por eso que vemos algunas zonas arqueologicas! una de las cosas que tenian los romanos era construir casas cerca del mar.πππ§
Archaeological areaππ©/ Zona arqueologicaππ


The Roman "Sanctuary" that was built here had a purpose because it was located in a high area and it was used for cults of: "empire, sun and moon"; It dates from between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD! These spaces were called "we fear" that they were a place of religious worship for officials or people of high military or political position or rich families! the purpose was to separate them from ordinary people! There is little information about the archaeological site, which is believed to have been occupied by the Arabs in the "XII" century, later the "masonry" was reused by local residents to create their houses!ππ
El "Santuario" romano que se construyo aqui tenia un proposito por estar ubicado en una zona alta y es que era utilizado para cultos de: "imperio, sol y luna"; data de entre los siglos II, III d.C! a estos espacios se les llamaba "tememos" que eran un lugar de culto religioso para funcionarios o personas de alto cargo militar, politico o familias ricas! el proposito era separarlas de las personas comunes! hay poca informacion sobre el sitio arqueologico que se cree que tambien fue ocupado por los arabes en el siglo "XII" posteriormente la "mamposteria" fueron reutilizables por los moradores locales para crear sus casas!πΈπ€΄π³ββοΈ




They have been able to identify some writings engraved on the stones discovered in the place and among the phrases read: "long life to the empire, and salute the emperor", when the archaeologists excavated here they discovered some "Roman inscriptions that were addressed to the sun and the luna", an altar dating from the 12th century that alludes to the "Moors" and objects such as ceramics, building blocks and pots!π©π
Se han podido identificar algunas escrituras grabadas en las piedras descubiertas en el lugar y entre las frases de lee: "larga vida al imperio, y salud al emperador", cuando los arqueologos excavaron aqui descubrieron unas "inscripciones romanas que eran dirigidas al sol y la luna", un altar que databa del siglo XII que se alude a los "moros" y unos objetos como ceramica, bloques de construccion y vasijas!ππ§π©
A local churchππ©/ Una iglesia localππ


You can find this church in the village and it is one of the few places of interest, however it is worth it! since das was built in the 16th century, it has predominantly "baroque" architecture and was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century due to the lisbon earthquake! Portugal has many beautiful churches full of stories so don't let them pass you by, try to enter the ones you can! maybe you'll come up with an interesting history of the crusades!ππ§π©
Esta igleja la consigues en la aldea y es de los pocos sitios de interes, sin embargo vale la pena! ya que das fue construida en el siglo XVI, tiene una arquitectura predominante "en barroco" y fue reconstruida en finales del siglo XIX debido al terremoto de lisboa! Portugal tiene muchas iglesias bonitas y llenas de historias asi que no las dejes pasar, trata de entrar en las que puedas! a lo mejor te consigues con una historia interesante de las cruzadas!π³ββοΈπ€΄πΈ
