Surrounded by lush mountain vegetation, the National Park and Pena Palace form a unique ensemble that stands out in the Sintra landscape. Wandering the winding, labyrinthine paths that intertwine beneath the park's dense woodland and arriving at the Palace, where its many spaces and details invite discovery, is a unique sensory experience where history, exoticism, and echoes of bygone eras converge.

Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point of mainland Europe and one of Portugal's most iconic locations. Located within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, it features impressive cliffs rising above the Atlantic Ocean. Its wild landscapes, the sound of the waves, and panoramic views create an unforgettable experience for visitors. The site features a historic lighthouse and a monument bearing the famous inscription by poet Luís de Camões: 'where the land ends and the sea begins.' It is an ideal destination for enjoying nature, taking spectacular photographs, and contemplating some of the country's most beautiful sunsets.

The closing dinner at SUD Lisboa will be the perfect finale to the CALA Partner Challenge. Held on the terrace with views of the Tagus River, guests will enjoy a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of the city. With exquisite gastronomy, a live fado dance performance, and stunning views, the event culminates in a dynamic party that guarantees unforgettable memories.
