Sintra. Upper part of the old town-Rua Maria Navarro
Rua Consiglieri Pedroso ended at a sharp turn, and I continued almost in the opposite direction, along a street with an incredibly long name, Rua Maria Eugenia Reis Ferreira Navarro, which goes uphill. On the left is a huge Park behind a fence-signs hang-Privada - private property.
In the trapezoidal niche of an endless stone fence covered with moss, a drinking fountain decorated with glazed ceramics was placed. According to the map, it's called Fonte de Pia
Opposite the fountain, in the cozy courtyard of a 19th-century mansion, there is a small cafe with a view of the Serra Sintra hills. The cafe is also called Fonte de Pia. I must say, the prices of catering in Sintra are very attractive.
In a niche of the same wall - a monument to Carlos frantza-a famous Portuguese scientist-bacteriologist and hygienist. What relation has Sintra - it was not possible to find out.
Another Villa with a small garden and wonderful views. Dream...
Such cars can be found now only in a remote village.
Someone's Privada looks Out from behind an endless high fence...
Villa Nogueiras (на карте) - замечательный образец мавританского стиля.
Как-то незаметно я забрался довольно высоко. Внизу - утопающий в зелени исторический центр Синтры.
Probably the best view of the city from here.The national Palace.
