The road up to the turn-off to the Estrada de Pena is stunning, with good tarmac and beautiful hairpin turns. However, the second part of this climb is not doable by road bike (maybe by mountain bike or e-bike). Once you turn left onto the cobbles, it becomes way too tight, busy (city buses), the cobbles are in bad shape and, above all, it is too steep. Do yourself a favour and go with the road to the right - however, you'll end up in Pé da Serra via the Estrada dos Capuchos (nice and good tarmac) towards the sea, from where you can take N247 or N9 back to Sintra. It's a 20km diversions, but this is for your own safety.
De weg tot aan de afslag naar de Estrada de Pena is schitterend, met goed asfalt en prachtige haarspeldbochten. Echter, het tweede deel van deze klim is niet te doen met de racefiets (misschien met mountainbike of e-bike). Zodra je links de kasseien opdraait, wordt het veel te krap, druk (stadsbussen), liggen de kasseien er slecht bij en is het vooral te steil. Doe jezelf een lol en ga met de weg mee naar rechts - echter, dan kom je via de Estrada dos Capuchos (mooi en goed asfalt) richting de zee uit in Pé da Serra, vanuit waar je N247 of N9 terug naar Sintra kunt nemen. Het is een omweg van 20km, maar dit is voor je eigen veiligheid.
