Gorgeous Quinta da Regaleira Palace in Sintra

Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra, Portugal. The city is a cultural and historic jewel of Portugal, visited by many tourists everyday. Many architectural sites in the city, as well as Quinta da Regaleira, are included in UNESCO’s list.

A romantic palace and chapel were built between 1904 and 1910. The Romantic and Gothic styles blend well together. The five storey palace is now open for public. A Roman Catholic Chapel fits the whole ensemble and yet is unusual: it has several floors and even pentagram decorations.

The Inverted Tower is a very unique underground tunnel, leading to a well. The spiral goes down to the labyrinths and secret gardens, where two artificial lakes and many fountains are found. Everything leaves the feeling of a fairy tale.

The estate definitely is a must see in Sintra. Once belonged to the Barons of Regaleira, designed by Italian architect Luigi Manini, today the enigmatic site is classified as a World Heritage Site.

It’s a wild 10 day costume party in October called Fantasy Fest in Key West, Florida. If I had to describe Fantasy Fest in one sentence, I’d say it’s Burning Man meets Mardi Gras for Halloween on a tropical island. Except in a place where you can also stay in a beautiful B&B surrounded by ancient banyan trees. A place so diverse that gays, bikers, pirates, artists, strippers and entrepreneurs are the norm, living a motto “One Human Family.” A place where you can watch the sun both rise and set over the ocean every day. After knowing about the festival for years living in South Florida, I finally made it down to see what all the hype was about with my blogger friend Steph from Travel-Break.net.
