Day 38 - Climbing the walls

We walked along the beach promenade in Nazare in to find somewhere for breakfast before checking out of our apartment and driving on to Caldas da Rainha, where we visited the ceramic museum in an old mansion over three floors. 
Then it was on to Obidos to visit the very touristy walled city where we walked the walls before having lunch.


From there we headed towards Sintra, a city in the mountains outside Lisbon where the Portugese nobility used to spend the hotter months. We walked up to the mirador so we could see some of the famous castles in the area.  
We drove the coastal route from Sintra into Lisbon via the Avenal Diana Spencer (no idea why they thought they should name a Portugese road after her) and checked in to our Airbnb not far from the Lisbon city centre for the next three nights.
