Sintra // Portugal - Palácio da Pena


In 1809 Lord Byron wrote to his friend Francis Hodgson, "I must just observe that the village of Cintra in Estremadura is the most beautiful in the world."

 His fellow countryman Robert Southey followed him and saw it as "the most blessed spot on the whole inhabitable globe."
