Wed 28 May- after an included buffet breakfast, on a cool, cloudy, showery day we walked up to the Quinta da Regaleira, which was very much better than we had expected. In addition to a fantastic palace/mansion, there is an extensive, fantastic, mythological/cosmological garden. It was incredible, it alone was worth our return to Sintra. We spent several hours wandering the paths, discovering the many features: grottos, lakes, waterfalls, wells, statues, towers, a chapel, secret tunnels, etc.
Returning to Sintra, we had an early evening Indian supper at the Bengal Tandoori: Special of the Day #4 chicken curry; and #5 mixed vegetables; garlic nan with 3 dips; beer; and babinca for dessert. It was delicious, only E20, and a nice change from the Portuguese menu, which we have noticed has the same 5 or 6 entrees, 5 or 6 fish dishes, and 5 or 6 meat dishes. Since we've tried them all several times, we were ready for a change.
