ПРИКАЗНО ПЪТЕШЕСТВИЕ 2 / A FAIRY TALE JOURNEY 2


СИНТРА - SINTRA
Последен ден в Португалия... Имах късмета да го прекарам в невероятно живописното, чаровно, мистично, магично, романтично, приказно градче Синтра, намиращо се на около 40 минути път с влак от Лисабон. Готови ли сте за разходка?
The last day of my stay in Portugal I spent in Sintra - the amazingly beautiful, picturesque, cheerful, romantic, full of wonders and mystery little town, situated close to Lisbon. Just have a look...
Кралският дворец с причудливите комини - The Sintra Palace with the two weird chimneys
Кметството - the Town Hall
мавританската чешма - the Moorish Fountain
 
парка на Свободата - the Park of Liberty
Дворецът Регалейра, царство на езотериката 
 
the Regaleira Palace - full of esoteric symbols
 
къщите - the houses

мoзайките - the mosaics



уличките - the streets
 балкончетата - the balconies
 

В този хотел Байрон е написал голяма част от "Странстванията на Чайлд Харолд"
In this hotel Byron wrote a big part of "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage"


Дворец, превърнат в хотел - the Seteais Palace , a hotel now
интериор - the interior
сутрешен чай със сладкиши - a morning tea with pastries
и аз, в опит да се пренеса във времето назад - and me, trying to go back in time



невероятни скулптури навсякъде - amazing sculptures everywhere
 
 

и невиждани цветя - and flowers unseen

примамващи ресторантчета - some nice restaurants

изобилие от сувенири - plenty of gift shops

и тайни за следващия път - and secrets to reveal next time


SAUDADE
На сбогуване със Синтра, отнасям една уникална португалска дума, която няма аналог на друг език и на практика е непреводима... "саудад"  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Подарява ми я една нова приятелка... "Саудад" - сладка мъка...
On leaving Sintra, I receive as a gift from a new friend of mine a unique Portuguese word, which cannot be translated in any other language. But its deep meaning can be explained - "saudade" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  "Saudade" - a sweet sadness...
Усещам значението й в това приказно кафене - уютно, артистично и пълно с вкусотии...)
(снимката не е моя)
I get closer to its meaning in this wonderful art-cafe - cozy and with a long list of delicious wonders...:) (the photo is not mine)
И така... За да посети човек най-известните забележителности в Синтра, са му нужни още ден-два. Аз нямах толкова време, но не съжалявам! Успях да видя много от този замайващ град и ви го представих такъв, какъвто го усетих. И трябва да призная, че магията му е много силна и ме тегли назад...

So... If you want to visit the most famous tourist attractions in Sintra, you must have one or two more days. My time was short and I didn't see them, but I am not sorry, for I felt the magic and the unique atmosphere of this charming town. And tried to represent them to you in my own way...
To be honest, I long to go back there again!:)

  6. No, dear Roberto, unfortunately we live in an apartament...:( This is a balcony in Sintra. Oh, Portugal... I knew I would fall in love with that country! Its sky is beautiful, its architecture is amazing, its men are charming, its wine and pastries are delicious, its people are kind and cheerful...
    "Saudade" is such a magical word, though sad! But as I was told, there're sparks of hope and joy in it!
    Hugs!!

  12. Fairies? For sure, Maria! Especially in the locked gardens... But I just wonder what's behind the door in the last photo!
    My camera is not a professional one, but the weather was fine and I tried to catch interesting "objects"... So, I'm glad you like the results, thank you!:)

  13. Enticing? Yes...An exact word, Tammie! Time flew there very quickly and we had to stop our walk, simply because we had to go back... Now I have the feeling I was shooting at every step, but I missed a lot for sure. I know there're numerous wonderful places in the world, but in Sintra there's a variety of beauties - for every taste, for every soul...

  14. Oh, never mind if that's not your window, probably the window of your house is more beautiful!
    I just wanted to make a joke, saying: What a beautiful window to someone give you a serenade!!!!!
    and then you lean out the balcony Ha Ha :DDD
    Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ♫ ♫ ♫

    ОтговорИзтриване
  15. A serenade for me? Maybe 20-30 years ago...:))))))))
    "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
    Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
    Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
    And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

    You made me dream, Roberto! Fisrt I must find a similar balcony and then... who knows? Maybe I'll hear a song?

  20. Must be a beautiful place to visit :D Love the thrill of discovering hidden treasures and chillin' at those restaurants!

    and...I'm still finding time to finish off my embroidery project (haha). The colors are randomly picked so might take some time to see how they fit together. Love to have a look at your embroidered butterfly too <3

    A great summer to you :)

  21. Oh, how I wish to go there again and to see more of beautiful Sintra!... And this time to taste the food in the restaurants, not only the pastry and the coffee!:0)
    ... I'm sure you'll combine the colours in a lovely way! My butterfly? Maybe it's time to choose the colours for it... And to take the needle...:)
