There also cannot be any change in their implementation.

The very special climate of this place, very humid, cool and gloomy, allowed this spot to survive several fires that devastated the Sintra mountains over time. In 'Tapada' you can find hazel (Corylus avellana L.), boxwood (Buxus sempervirens L.), oak or roble (Quercus robur L.), chestnut (Castanea sativa L.), laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) arbutus (Arbutus unedo L.), yew (Taxus baccata), caledonia (Chelidonium majus L.), foxglove (Digitalis purpurea L.), holly (Ilex aquifolium L.), gilbardeira (Ruscus aculeatus L.), the ivy-leaf fetus (Asplenium hemionitis L.), the oaks-fetus (Davallia canariensis), among many of the other species that abound there, a notable example of Sintra's forest.
William Beckford, the English romantic writer, upon reaching this area and after walking miles on a wild and deserted hill, said the following: '... at first glance it corresponds to the image of Robinson Crusoé's address.'
20 minutes from Sintra (EN 247) and 25 minutes from Cascais (N9-1), this property is unique for its location and natural beauty in the heart of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, with beautiful landscapes and viewpoints surrounded by enchanting vegetation - it seems that man has never been there.
