There then followed a couple of hours which we will be happy to share one day. What could make more sense at 5.30 than to drive 20 minutes to a coastal resort and choose a nice restaurant?
1. Getting out of Sintra. A nightmare! Incredibly narrow streets, ridiculous parking, and numerous wrong turns. As we went round for the third time trapped in an endless loop and the streets seemingly getting even narrower, we gave up trying to get to the coast and just kept going out, regardless of the direction.
2. Eventually get to the coast. No restaurants. No idea why. Found one that was closed, but eventually struck gold. Beautiful fish with added sunset.
Phew!
