	Portugal - Sintra - Introduction
		Sintra has remained even nowadays the "noble town surrounded by many estates, pleasant woods with plentiful springs of excellent water", referred to by various old authors.
		A tourist region par excellence, Sintra is one of the most delightful places to be found in Portugal.
		With the inauguration of the railway between Lisbon and Sintra in 1887, the town became popular as a summer resort with the middle class of Lisbon and expanded in urban terms, while at the same time it attracted well known scientists and historians, who began methodically to study Sintra's ancient heritage.

	Sintra -- the basics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sintra® is available in thicknesses from 1mm to 19mm (but 3mm and 6mm are the most common), and a dozen colors (white is available in all thicknesses, the other colors just in 3mm and 6mm; more about colors later).
		Sintra® and its cousins leave the factory in sheets 4' x 8' and larger, so if you need a bigger piece than you can find in local scrap bins, but don't want to buy (much less pay shipping on) a full sheet, you'll have to work through a distributor.
		As a note of warning, be careful not to crush Sintra® while you're manhandling it -- crushing destroys the material's internal cell structure, leaving you with a very flexible and essentially useless mess.
