About
Sintra Mágica turns Sintra into a Christmas world, with markets, shows, scenic lighting and family activities spread through the historic center and the village of Montelavar. The program grows out of an original story by writers Isabel Stilwell and Sara Rodi, set in the Sintra of the 1800s. It suits families who like to wander between stalls and lit-up streets, with a story thread for kids who enjoy one.
