Sintra and Another Fabulous Dinner

We boarded our motor coach this morning to travel to Sintra-set among the wooded hills of the Serra de Sintra-about 16 miles northwest of Lisbon.  It was the summer home of Moorish rulers and Portuguese kings.  A stop at the Palacios da Pena, then a return to the village for lunch and shopping.  The weather has been perfect-beautiful blue skies and 77
Degrees.

We had a pleasant evening with a warm breeze at the elegant Aura.  This restaurant is housed in a converted palace building and designed under enormous vaulted ceilings. It's an impressive setting. Being located near the river, it's no surprise that fish dishes are popular choices, cooked to perfection and presented with a contemporary flourish.
