I am Tour Guide
Hi! I'm Francisco :) I´m a local guide, born and raised in sintra. I heard many legends about mysticism, secrets and sintra stories. Later I joined a group in sintra and deepened my historical knowledge and the Portuguese spiritual tradition linked to the Templars and Cathars. The passion for history comes from my father, a history teacher. Now, I'm responsible for showing the bases of the Gnostic/alchemical ritual in a guided view of Sintra and Quinta-da-Regaleira, and the keeper of the first door to sintra spirituality. "only on the pilgrim's path will you discover a hiden world"
