This will not be the usual 1h30 tour. It is meant for curious people who want to learn absolutely everything there is to know about a place. In 3 hours, maybe more, I will describe in detail not just the cultural and historic context, and all the people involved in creating Regaleira, but also about Portuguese mysticism and beliefs, Greek mythology, esoteric practices, ancient religious orders, misconceptions about the free masons, the Romantic movement and Botany. Few guides talk about plants, but Regaleira is not just the Palace and the Initiation Well, it is a Romantic Park. Many of its trees and other plants have amazing stories that deserve to be told, hopefully sparking the curiosity t...

I will be waiting for you by the entrance gate of Quinta da Regaleira, which is the top gate. Be aware that most uber, taxi, tuk-tuk drivers will try to drop you at the lower gate close to the palace -exit only. And then you'll have to do a steep walk to reach the entrance gate and will arrive late.

Itinerary
Join me in an in-depth tour of Quinta da Regaleira. Learn about the people involved, the historic context, the inspiration behind it, the hidden symbolism of each corner and common misconceptions. Quinta da Regaleira is undoubtedly the most enigmatic and esoteric place in Sintra with no equivalent in Portugal. As soon you go through its gates, you´ll go on a journey through an imaginary universe of symbols and metaphors, that bit by bit gifts you with an ode to Portugal’s hidden myths and history. Nothing is just what is seems! You'll learn to look again, to go deeper.
