The other place that we LOVED was Quinta de Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal. OMG! It was so fun! It is a magical palace with beautiful gardens, fountains and hidden tunnels galore. We had such a great time exploring there, we felt like we were in the Goonies. We went through dark tunnels with water dripping on us and the only light was from my keychain. We never knew where we would end up but with every turn there was always a surprise. We definitely plan to go back many more times =)

End of the World and Tunnels Galore
We are dying to share with you two wonderful "must sees" in Portugal! Our friends, Laura and Paul were just visiting and together we found some great spots to explore. The first one is Cabo da Roca, "where the land ends and the sea begins". This is the westernmost point in all of Europe and was once thought to be literally the end of the world. It was absolutely breathtaking! The pictures do not do it justice!
