Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra : Quinta da Regaleira is a vast and eccentric estate dominated by art and architecture of the occult, mythology and secret societies such as the Templars and Masons and was the vision of its original wealthy eccentric owner and his architect.  Quinta da Regaleira is located in a dense forested area in the old quarter of Sintra and has been classified as World Heritage site by UNESCO.  While most of the artifacts are symbolic only, it was implied that some also had functional purpose, potentially in the proceedings of some secret society in the early 20th century.

Don't forget to check out the nearby Castelo de Pena, Sintra gallery!

Oporto : Oporto is easily one of my favorite cities in the world.  When you combine an abundance of Art Deco architecture and art with an abundance of Port wine and a river covered with picturesque little boats, you have the recipe for a perfect city.

In addition to being one of my favorite world cities, it has also been the hardest to put into a single gallery.  For that reason, images from Oporto also appear in 2 other galleries, one dedicated to the art deco architecture, the other for the blue tile art that pervades all of Portugal.
