Sintra to Monte Rodel

- This is a circular hike
- Expect at least 5 hours, length of 11 to 12 km, elevation gain of least 500 meters. Difficulty: Moderate.
- Our goal is Monte Rodel.

Our start point is the Palace Cafe across from the Sintra train station.
- There is train leaving Lisbon Rossio station at 10:01 arriving at 10:41.
- There is a train leaving Oriente station at 10:08 arriving at Sintra at 10:55.

We will not start hiking until after the train from Oriente has arrived and I believe everyone has made it to the start point, about 11h10.
