Morocco to Spain and Portugal Day 14: Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais

Are you tired of hearing about charming small towns? Each one is genuinely distinct, and today’s journey to Sintra was no exception — from wandering the palace with its delightful bird motif to losing ourselves in the town’s winding streets

Of course, doves for the chapel
This pastry — unique to Sintra — was similar to a fresh-from-the-oven almond croissant, and may well be one of the best things I’ve ever tasted

Cascais where we had lunch looked like a California beach town.

For our farewell dinner we had a cooking class. We made cod in cream, prawns, and a custard tart. We may have each eaten the equivalent of a stick of butter.

Shonda wrote and sang a song about the trip to the tune of the Way We Were (our EF tour) We did hilarious impersonations of our well-loved tour director. I have so enjoyed this group. I hope we can travel together again.
