The former royal city of Sinta is 8km away and is one of the most attractive cities in Portugal. With its alleys, the lush old parks, the burg and the castles, it is known for its picturesque location in the mountains of the Serra da Sintra. On your way to the most western point of Europe, the Cabo da Roca, you must ride through Colares, before the winding streets lead through the foothills on the steep coast. Here you will have a spectacular view of the Atlantic and the rock cliffs. Far from the mountains you will find the famous resorts of Cascais and Estoril, which illustrate a contrast to the rural life in Colares with its city flair. 2 to 4km from Colares away you will find the beaches of the region: Praia das Macas, Praia Grande and Praia da Adrage. The latter is one of the most beautiful in Europe. On the expansive Praia Grande, surfers will find everything they need. During the summer, a nostalgic train rides from Sintra through Colares to the beach.
