Deus Quer, o Homem sonha e a obra nasce - Portugal's insights...

The picture above is from a place in Sintra (close to Lisbon) called Quinta da Regaleira that could be translated to english as the Regaleira Farm, but farm here does not mean animals, and plantations, this name is rather due to its size, I think... The whole compound is composed by the house in the picture and extense gardens with lakes and caves. This area of the country is mainly constituted by limestone, so its not surprizing to find such a extensive system of natural caves...in one of them I went in with two other foreigners that were also visiting...really dark and scary to adventure on my own... Need not to tell that my favourite part were the caves...
And to go with the magnificent master piece of architecture shown in the pictures here goes a poem by Fernando Pessoa.
