Behind The Scenes

Luke Mitchell has shared a message to social media while filming A Pinch of Portugal. The message posted from Sintra, Portugal reads "Bom dia! ☀️" which translates to "Good Morning!" and a picture with the message shows the horizon as the sun sets over a scenic valley.

Sintra is a picturesque town located near the coast of Portugal in the hills of the Serra de Sintra mountains. The town is known for its lush forests, scenic hiking trails, parks, and gardens and is a popular tourist destination.

One of the most famous landmarks in Sintra is the Pena Palace, a brightly colored castle perched on a hilltop overlooking the town. The palace was built in the 19th century by King Ferdinand II, and features a mix of architectural styles, including Gothic, Moorish, and Renaissance.

Another popular attraction is the Quinta da Regaleira, a 20th-century palace and estate with extensive gardens and underground tunnels. The estate is known for its mystical and symbolic elements, including hidden grottoes, statues, and a labyrinthine well.

Other notable sites in this town include the Moorish Castle, a medieval fortification with stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and the Monserrate Palace, a 19th-century palace with beautiful gardens.
