Vila Alda - Casa do Eléctrico de Sintra
The inauguration of the railway line between Sintra and Lisbon in 1887 immediately sparked the desire of other towns to be served by modern means of transport. At the forefront of this aspiration was Colares, a town with considerable economic importance thanks to its fruit production and renowned wine. The tram line between Sintra and Praia das Maçãs was inaugurated on March 31, 1904, and extended to Azenhas do Mar in 1930, reaching its maximum length of 14.6 km. Thanks to the trams, many families had easier access to the beaches, many workers traveled to their jobs, and many products from the Colares region reached their destination. Currently managed by the local council, the line, considered by many to be the most romantic in Europe, has become a major tourist attraction in the region.

Estação de Sintra
Until 1887, the only public transport to Sintra was the slow stagecoach that departed from the capital. The railway connection between Lisbon and Sintra was only inaugurated on April 2nd of that year. With the end of the Second World War, an investment program in rail transport began, seeking to reduce dependence on steam traction. The Sintra line was integrated into this plan, and electrification officially arrived on April 28, 1956, as part of the centenary celebrations of the railways in Portugal.
