Back in Sintra, the visual delights continued. The Palcio Real, or National Palace, is most prominent, with its white, conical bullhorns ("ice cream tops", as my wife dubbed them) towering over the village. The palace offers guided tours of its decoratively diverse rooms. Sintra is divided in two by a park, requiring a scenic (but easy) half-mile walk or bus ride between the train station and the town centre, or Vila. Half way along this walk, we followed the signs to the studio/museum of Anjos Teixera. The path winds down into a ravine, to the studio. The father-and-son Teixeras are now dead, but the studio now serves as a museum of their marble sculptures and drawings. The lone staff member recounted her memories of the two sculptors, their influence, and popularity. We spent our last morning browsing the recently-opened Museu de Arte Moderna, a collection of international twentieth-century art at the northwest end of town. This is a must-see for aficionados of modern art. The tourist office can provide details on numerous other museums and diversions.
