Event Description

This walk starts next to the Malveira da Serra Primary School and, after walking through some of the village's streets, heads towards the slopes of the Peninha Sanctuary, with breathtaking views. It will be at this final point that we will have the challenge of climbing the “famous” Dragão trail, which will take us towards Cabeço do Vento, passing by Fonte dos Romeiros, until we reach the Peninha Sanctuary, with fabulous views across the Sintra mountains and the coastline, which allows us to reach the mouth of the River Tagus and Cape Espichel.

We'll also pass through the Bosque do Silêncio (Forest of Silence), the Pedras Irmãs (Sister Stones) and the trails that are so characteristic of this part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Then we'll resume our journey towards Malveira da Serra, travelling through magnificent oak forests and majestic Cedros do Bussaco, among other species. At the end we'll descend to our starting point.

The Peninha site, in the middle of the Syenitic centre of the Sintra eruptive massif and a place of worship, shows signs of human permanence since the Neolithic period. It includes a group of buildings classified as a Property of Public Interest.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Peninha, built out of popular devotion, according to the legend of Our Lady's apparition to a mute and very poor shepherdess from Almoinhas Velhas.

The Chapel of St Saturninus, built in the 16th-17th century, is a place of worship dating back to Visigoth times. To the west of the monument there is evidence of the foundations of the primitive hermitage of probable medieval origin (12th century). A mansion built in 1918 by António Carvalho Monteiro for his residence.

Legend of the Yellow Stone

In the middle of the Sintra mountain range, there is a cliff that has been capriciously raised by Nature, or produced by the volcanic convulsions of the land in unknown times, and is linked to the following legend:

It was once said that under There was a hidden treasure in that rock (an enchanted treasure) that would belong to whoever was able to knock down the rock by throwing eggs at it. An old woman then got it into her head that this treasure should belong to her. To do this, she started gathering as many eggs as she could. When she thought she had a good supply, she set about her ingenuous task. Little by little, she carried all the eggs to the neighbourhood of the crag and set to work. One by one, two by two, and with as much strength as he had, he threw the eggs at the rock. When he had none left, he was terribly disappointed! The boulder was still erect and firm, washed with eggs! And so, instead of the boulder falling to the ground, exposing the marvellous treasure, all the poor old woman's hopes and dreams were dashed! And even today, people, always prone to wonder, think they see in the yellowish moss that covers the crag the yolks of the eggs that the old woman threw at it.

Event details

Event Description

This walk starts next to the Malveira da Serra Primary School and, after walking through some of the village's narrow streets, heads towards the beautiful Atlantic coast, with its breathtaking landscapes. Beforehand, however, we'll pass along the trails that are so characteristic of this part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Then we'll return to the hillside and the magnificent Peninha Sanctuary, which offers a view of the Cascais coast, Cabo Raso and beaches such as Guincho and Abano. At the end we'll descend back to our starting point.

Grota Beach or Cove

Praia da Grota is located in a small cove surrounded by a cliff. Down below, there is a small sandy beach, flanked and interspersed with many pebbles and cobbles. Swimmers are advised to exercise caution due to the many submerged rocks. On this beach, in times of higher rainfall, it is possible to see a waterfall produced by the flow of the Ribeira da Grota.
