Two hours before the sunset (from the last week of October to the last week of March this activity starts at 3:30 p.m.) you will be picked up by car at Sintra's train station. On your way to where this evening walk will start you'll be able to see in the distance Sintra's Castle, Pena Palace and the forest gradually beginning to surround you.

Once arrived to the western part of Sintra Mountains, your walk will begin, as well as your journey to a distant past, through the words of the Historian Miguel Boim.

The walk will be about 5 kilometers, spanning around 4 hours, in regular and soft irregular terrain. The effort implied is equivalent to spending a whole afternoon strolling around Sintra, with its ups and downs.

Whereas in the usual nocturnal walks one can recognize through the foliage, among the arches that define the old history of Mountain and Village, History's old stories and accounts, in “Sintra Mountains Inbetween Wolves” you'll travel under the black arc of the great sky, dotted with a thousand stars, to a past that's hard to imagine.

But, before that, you'll see, in the sunset, the Sun falling in the Atlantic Ocean, with Cabo da Roca at sight too (if the day is unclouded). After the sunset we'll enter the forest, a most special part of our walk, where you'll experience the ambience as our ancestors did when they had to cross the mountain, in the dark, on their way back home. You'll find mostly irregular terrain, but nothing a person without any mobility impairment can't handle.

From the past, in this very Mountain, the wolves, the deer, the wild boars have also roamed these paths. There were also wild shepherds and friars who, due to their peculiar experiences and unexpected encounters, live on in words engraved, words that have outlasted the centuries as the desire to know and protect this recondite forest culture as it is, on the nights and days passing by us, revived in “Sintra Mountains Inbetween Wolves”. And it's in this silence that the heart will become the eyes of these past lives, of these feelings of the present.

You'll hear of some accounts and memories from the past, to better understand how one lived in the mountains, particularly regarding the religious orders and the unusual stories from a History written centuries ago.

You may, or may not, have the chance, in the night, of observing some traces of the fauna that still exists in the Sintra Mountains.
