The climate and the natural environment have always been exceptionally favourable making this region one of the most valued by tourists. During many years this region has been an exile for kings, aristocrats, actors and intellectuals: the Estoril majestic coast, the luxuriant Serra da Arrábida (Arrabida mountain range), unique for its natural beauty providing different outdoor activities, passing through the enigmatic town of Sintra, a romantic destiny, par excellence, and immortalized as the "glorious Eden" by the writer Lord Byron. The green sceneries, the mountains that contrast with the Ocean, the castle, the palaces, the houses and the local gastronomy, make this region one of the most pleasant destinies in Portugal.
