Sintra trip with Jose’ - Jose’ picked us up on a damp, rainy morning for our tour of Sintra. The weather did not dampen our spirits, as Jose’ was determined to make our tour a special one. We immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. Jose ’ has an encyclopedic knowledge of his subject matter, but he imparts it in a thoughtful but entertaining manner (lots of personality!). Although we had no views while visiting the iconic monuments, we enjoyed every minute learning about the history of each site. Jose’ took us to a restaurant where “ the locals” eat, and it was the best and most authentic meal we had had on our trip. Jose’ also made sure to show us the special little gems in Sintra-the pastry shop from 1842 ( he picked a few things for us to try! ), a stop into the oldest hotel on the Iberian peninsula, and a pop in to a shop with tiny chocolate pots filled with cherry liquor. Jose’ was recommended to us by a friend, and we are so glad that we were able to spend our day in Sintra with him. 5 stars!
