Hello adventurous friends! Today I am at one of the highest points in Sintra and I think probably in Portugal, it was a day full of adventure and adrenaline, we are going to see beautiful landscapes and take a walk within the Sintra nature reserve until we climb 436 meters and reach the "Pedra Amarela" viewpoint at the same time we will contemplate a system of rocks that decorate our landscape!🚩🚙🌍
first stop🍁🍍🌻
for adrenaline lovers🍁🍍🌻
Hola amigos aventureros! hoy estoy en uno de los puntos mas altos de Sintra y creo que de Portugal probablemente, fue un dia lleno de aventuras y adrenalina, vamos a ver hermosos paisajes y hacer una caminata dentro de la reserva natural de Sintra hasta subir 436 metros y llegar al mirador "Pedra Amarela" al mismo tiempo vamos a contemplar un sistema de rocas que decoran nuestro paisaje! 🌷🍁🌲
About the nature reserve🌍/Sobre la reserva natural🚩
As you can see, the first impression when we entered the park is something fantastic, the "da pedra amarela" reserve has a very well signposted entrance and from here we can see all the trails we can do! It is located south of Sintra and is a camp where we can do endless activities, from tree climbing to picnics, even in the highest areas we can climb! The trail I did is 18km long and starts long before the entrance! that is, at the following coordinates: (38.751674, -9.447667)🌷🌻🧭
Como puedes ver la primera impresion cuando entramos en el parque es algo fantastico, la reserva "da pedra amarela" tiene una entrada muy bien senalizada y desde aqui podemos ver todos los senderos que podemos hacer! se ubica al sur de Sintra y es un campamento donde podemos realizar un sin fin de actividades, desde arborismo hasta picnic, inclusive en las zonas mas altas podemos escalar! el sendero que yo hice consta de 18km y comienza mucho antes de la entrada! osea en las siguientes coordenadas: (38.751674, -9.447667)🍍🌿
When we enter the park we are shown a sign with the local fauna and flora, if we are lucky we can see everything from eagles to some owls, we can find more than 4 species of snakes all harmless, also plants like Garcinia sp typical of the Mediterranean landscape! For me, the best days you can visit the reserve are Monday to Friday to avoid people!🐍🐢🐊🦎🦫
cuando entramos en el parque se nos muestra un letrero con la fauna y flora local, si tenemos suerte podemos ver desde aguilas hasta algunos buhos, podemos encontrarnos mas de 4 especies de serpientes todas inofensivas, tambien plantas como Garcinia sp tipica del paisaje mediterranico! para mi los mejores dias que puedes visitar la reserva son de lunes a viernes para evitar las personas!🦨🦡🐀🐇🦃🦅🦜
Trail characteristic🌍/Caracteristica del sendero🚩
Here we have the map that shows us an exact route of all the official trails of the "Pedra Amarela" as well as the unofficial ones, to complete the trail route you can take about 4 hours or a little more, the best time for me is summer but be careful with the heat, bring plenty of water and a hat! Another curious fact is that you can see the relief of the area so you have an idea of the height of where you are! As you can see the highest point of the trail is 400 meters!🧭🌻🌷🚩
Aqui tenemos el mapa que nos marca una ruta exacta de todos los senderos oficiales de la "pedra amarela" como tambien los no oficiales, para completar la ruta del sendero puedes tomarte unas 4 horas o un poco mas, la mejor epoca para mi es verano pero cuidado con el calor, trae mucha agua y un sombrero! otro dato curioso es que puedes ver el relieve de la zona asi que tienes una idea la altura de donde estas! como puedes ver el punto mas alto del sendero es 400metros! 🌍🌲
Beginning of the adventure🌍/Comienzo de la aventura🚩
From what I saw there are many areas that seem to have a circular shape with stones. Probably people gather here for activities, the boy scouts frequently come to the reserve to learn how to read maps and other natural activities! Being a reserve you cannot make fires or bonfires!🌍🚩
Por lo que vi hay muchas areas que parece que tienen una figura circular con piedras probablemente la gente aqui se reune para actividades, los boys scouts frecuentemente vienen a la reserva para aprender hacer lectura de mapas y otras actividades naturales! al ser una reserva no puedes hacer fuego ni fogatas!🌷🌻
Stop at the lagoon🌍/Parada en la laguna🚩
After walking a little less than 2km we arrived at our first stop, it is an artificial fountain where we are going to cool off and orient ourselves with the map that shows us the current position, here I took the opportunity to hydrate myself and eat a little, since the next few kilometers are Quite demanding, only some very steep climbs!
🧭🌏👩🏫
luego de caminar poco menos de 2km llegamos a nuestra primera parada se trata de una fuente artificial donde nos vamos a refrescar y orientarnos con el mapa que nos muestra la posicion actual, aqui aproveche para hidratarme y comer un poco, ya que los proximos kilometros son bastante exigentes son solo subidas algunas muy empinadas!🚙
The climb begins🌍/Comienza la subida🚩
This is our second stop, it is the "Penedo de Alves" viewpoint, here we are at 230 meters high, perhaps a little more, the landscape is increasingly beautiful, we have a good view over the center of Lisbon, including the 25 de Abril bridge and Vasco de Gama, I advise you that when you try to climb the viewpoints, be very cautious if there is wind, better do it with climbing poles! You can fall and break your leg!🚩🌍
Esta es nuestra segunda parada se trata del mirador "penedo de alves", aqui estamos a 230metros de altura quizas un poco mas, el paisaje es cada vez mas bonito tenemos una buena vista sobre el centro de Lisboa, incluyendo el puente 25 de abril y Vasco de Gama, te aconsejo que cuando intentes subir en los miradores seas muy precavido si hay viento mejor hazlo con bastontes de escalada! puedes caerte y romperte una pierna!🌲🧭
Penedo de Alves Viewpoint🌍/Mirador Penedo de Alves🚩
I am almost in the final stretch of the trail, here we arrive at the viewpoint, the second highest point of our climb, we still have to complete about 150 meters, here the signage disappears and you have to take alternative routes. It was quite complicated to get to the stones, many bushes with thorns, and we have to be careful when uploading them! When we reach a stone we can see the landscape and the ocean in the distance!🌲🌍
Estoy casi en la recta final del sendero llegamos aqui al mirador el segundo punto mas alto de nuestra subida aun debemos completar unos 150 metros, aqui la senalizacion se desaparece y tienes que tomar rutas alternativas fue bastante complicado llegar a las piedras muchos arbustos con espinas, y tenemos que tener cuidado al subirlas! cuando llegamos a una piedra podremos ver el paisaje y a lo lejos el oceano!🧭🚩
As I told you before, to get the best views you need to climb the stones that are on the mountain, this can be a little complicated because some are several meters high and if you slip it is dangerous! If you are used to these activities it will be easy, remember to wear hiking boots! and avoid rainy days
🧭🌏👩🏫
como te decia anteriormente para obtener las mejores vistas necesitas escalar las pidras que estan en la montana, esto puede ser un poco complicado porque algunas tienen varios metros de altura y si te resbalas es peligroso! si estas habituado a estas actividades sera facil, recuerda usar botas de excursion! y evita dias de lluvia🚙
Last viewpoint "pedra amarela"🌍/Ultimo mirador "pedra amarela"🚩
and here ends my adventure on the pedra amarela trail! It was quite an odyssey, I ended up photographing the most beautiful landscapes of Sintra and care of all of Portugal! For me it is a worthwhile experience if you come backpacking to the country and don't want to spend a lot! The trail has a parking lot where you can even stay in a tent! You can take several days to complete all the trails in Sintra! I would rate it 5/5 stars, it has a bit of everything, if you have any physical condition, forget it, don't risk it, it's a bit dangerous! You may complete it but not 100% because you only have to climb to go up to the viewpoint!🌍🌲
y aqui acaba mi aventura en el sendero de pedra amarela! fue toda una odisea acabe por fotografiar los paisajes mas bonitos de Sintra y cuidado de todo portugal! para mi es una experiencia que vale la pena si vienes de mochilero al pais y no quieres gastar mucho! el sendero tiene un estacionamiento donde puedes hasta quedarte en carpa! puedes tomarte varios dias para completar todos los senderos de Sintra! lo puntuaria 5/5 estrellas tiene de todo un poco, si tienes alguna condicion fisica olvidalo no te arriesgues es un poco peligroso! quizas lo completes pero no al 100% porque solo subir al mirador debes escalar!🧭🌻

Wow, a long hike, but certainly worth it. Those views from the hilltop stones are amazing!
