Day 4 Sintra, Castle of the Pena, trip to the Canary Islands, 16th January 2026

A vibrant, fairytale-like Romanticist castle perched on a hilltop, famous for its eclectic mix of Neo-Gothic, Neo-Manueline, Moorish, and Indian styles, colorful terraces, battlements, and fantastical towers, set within sprawling, mystical gardens that create a dreamy, storybook atmosphere. It was the vision of King Ferdinand II, the "King-Artist," transforming a ruined monastery into a whimsical summer residence with vivid colors and imaginative designs, making it a stunning expression of 19th-century Romanticism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
