Hello fellow adventurers! In my previous YouTube video, we visited this beautiful palace and sanctuary in real time. Actually, this mountain, whose name is "Monte da Lua," is home to two very old structures that are a frequent destination for tourists staying in Sintra. In 2024, Sintra's parks registered a record 3.4 million visitors in a single year, and a large number of them came here! Let's discover the secrets of the trail that weren't visible in the video!🧭🏰

Enjoy my experience on YouTube🧭🌏 / Disfruta de mi experiencia en YOUTUBE🚩⛰️

I can't tear myself away from HIVE because it allows me to capture all my experiences in detail, something that's not possible on YouTube. I'd love to dedicate myself 100% to both and make it my job, but there's a lot of work to do to get there! Many people and whales appreciate my work here, and that's why they're part of my motivation to share a piece of Portugal.😁🎉

No puedo despegarme de HIVE porque en el puedo plasmar todas mis experiencias a detalle, cosa que en youtube no es posible, me gustaria dedicarme 100% a ambas cosas y que sea mi trabajo, sin embargo hay mucho trabajo que hacer para llegar hasta alla!!! muchas personas y ballenas valoran mi trabajo aqui por ello forman parte de mi motivacion para mostrar un pedazo de Portugal.🧭🌏

The most sought-after bus in Sintra, the 434, has an interesting route passing by many tourist spots in this area. It even drops you off a bit close to this sanctuary, going as far as the "Palacio da Pena" (Palace of Pena). However, this is more of a trail than anything else; it's one of the least visited by tourists because it gets very hot in the summer and you have to climb 488 meters. It's not for everyone...🚩😱

El autobus mas codiciado de Sintra jeje, el 434 tiene un circuito interesante pasando por muchos locales turisticos en esta zona, inclusive nos deja un poco cerca de este santuario, llega hasta el "palacio da pena" sin embargo, esto es mas un sendero que otra cosa, es uno de los menos visitados por turistas porque en verano hace mucho calor y tienes que subir 488 metros, no es para cualquiera...🚎

Route: "Qta do Pisao"🚩🏰 /Ruta: "Qta do Pisao"📍🚙

After passing this bridge you'll find an interesting trail called "Qta do pisao" that runs along the "das vinhas" riverbank. We've already uploaded material about this beautiful path, I'll leave it below. It's a detour of less than 2km, I recommend it and you simply turn around to go back to the Sanctuary, that's why it's important to leave very early.🚎😍

Pasando este puente consigues un sendero interesante llamado "Qta do pisao" que va pasando por la ribera "das vinhas" ya subimos material sobre este hermoso camino te lo dejare abajo, es un desvio de menos de 2km te lo recomiendo y simplemente das vuelta para ir de nueva al Santuario, por eso es importante salir bien temprano.🌏🚎

Peninha Route🚩🏰 /Ruta de Peninha📍🚙

Until we reach the base of the "lua" mountain, we won't find any signs or official trails telling us where to go to get to the Sanctuary. You have to pay attention to the signs so you don't get lost, but nothing that Google Maps can't do for you.🧭🚩

Hasta no llegar a la base de la montana "lua" no vamos a toparnos con ninguna senalizacion o sendero oficial que nos diga hacia donde tenemos que ir para llegar al Santuario, tienes que estar atento con senalizaciones para no perderte sin embargo nada que Gmaps no haga por ti.🏰🧭

We have now arrived at a small village that has signs for several trails, and one of them includes the PR3 CSC, which may be leading us to the sanctuary or bringing us closer to it.🚩🚎

Ya llegamos a un pequeno pueblo que tiene los letreros de varios senderos y uno de ellos incluye el PR3 CSC que posiblemente nos este llevando al santuario o nos estara acercando,🌏😍

Once again the landscape changes and Sintra never ceases to amaze me. Now we say goodbye to the tall trees and abundant vegetation, and now we will see meadows and high areas. Here it was quite hot, and I saw some animals: horses, donkeys, and deer.🍂🌳

De nuevo el paisaje cambia y Sintra no deja de sorprenderme, ahora le decimos adios a los arboles altos y la vegetacion abundante, y ahora veremos praderas y zonas altas, aqui si hacia bastante calor, aprecie algunos animales, caballos, burros, y venados.📍🏰

Palace in sight!!!🌏🧭 / Palacio a la vista!!!📍🌏

We arrived at the Sanctuary🚩🏰 /Llegamos al Santuario📍🚙

After climbing 488 meters, we arrived!!! Now we're going to explore the palace and the convent a bit. They're two different things; one is yellow and the other is gray and looks like a "castle".🌏😱

Luego de subir 488 metros llegamos!!! ahora vamos a explorar un poco el palacio y el convento, son dos cosas diferentes, uno es amarillo y el otro es gris con aspecto de "castillo"📍🏰

The legend of the shepherd girl🚩🏰 /La leyenda de la nina pastora📍🚙

Legend has it that in the 16th century, the Virgin Mary appeared to a girl who was herding sheep on a mountaintop. As the girl approached, she was amazed, and a miracle occurred: the girl, who was mute, was able to speak for the first time!😱😍

Cuenta la leyenda que en el siglo XVI la virgen maria se le aparecio a una nina que estaba pastoreando unas ovejas en la cima de la montana, la nina al acercarse se impresiona y ocurre un milagro, la nina que era muda consiguio Hablar por primera vez!👧🏻🙇🏻‍♀️

The best panoramic view of Sintra🚩🏰 /La mejor panoramica de Sintra📍🚙

They say this is the best panoramic view of Sintra, and I take my hat off to them. I can confirm it; from here you can see as far as Verlenga Island, the Cabo da Roca lighthouse, and even the Sesimbra lighthouse—it's incredible! And you can also appreciate the Atlantic Ocean.

Segun dicen que esta es la mejor panoramica de Sintra, y me "quito el sombrero" lo confirmo desde aqui se puede ver hasta la isla "verlenga", el farol "cabo da roca" e inclusive el farol de "sesimbra" una locura, ademas de apreciar el oceano atlantico
