De manhã cedo pode-se imaginar como Byron via Sintra, mas Byron não podia ter imaginado a invasão que se tornou praga...

Early morning visits avoids the excesses . . .

Lovely shot, Jose. Didn't know Byron had written about Portugal.

Thank you Ron. He did. And Robert Southey, the early-19th-century Poet Laureate of England, was forever haunted by a memory of his youth. ''If I had Aladdin's lamp, the genius should transport me, my household and my books to Cintra. . . . Cintra, the most blessed spot in the habitable globe, will almost bring tears to my eyes.''
In 1796 and again in 1800, the young Southey passed several months at his uncle's cottage near Sintra - as it is now spelled - 15 miles northwest of Lisbon. Southey hoped that he, and his friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge could retire there together. But it was never to be.

Magnifique rendu Jose..!
