Fairytale Palace

The small bus chugs up the winding roads of Sintra —

And then after a steep uphill climb on foot,

You gasp when you finally glimpse the fairytale outline

Of Pena Palace:

A beautiful example of 19th century

Portuguese Romanticism.

Gorgeous tiles and lemon walls

Are a breathtaking reminder

Of how amazing the human imagination

Coupled with architecture can be.
