Praia do Guincho
By the time we lunched (our first taste of the revered bacalhau), it was well past two in the afternoon. Departing for Sintra in our newly rented SEAT Toledo, we chose to go via the N-247, simply because it would afford us some great views of the beaches that ran parallel to it.
The beach at Guincho is known for its huge breakers, and is an absolute favourite with windsurfers. The wind was ferocious and the sea doused you with its cool spray even if you were a fair distance away from it
