As the summer residence of the kings of Portugal, and the Moorish lords of Lisbon before them, Sintra's verdant charms have long been celebrated.

We didn't sleep much on the plane so when we arrived in Glasgow at 8am local time we were already pretty tired. We took a cab to my parents' hotel and then went to George Square. While we were at the hotel I decided to get my sunglassses out of my day pack as there was a chance I might need ...
