The pastry shop in the centre of Sintra where travesseiros were invented, with queijadas and other sweets of the town. Open every day.

The travesseiros of Sintra
Casa Piriquita is on Rua das Padarias, the slope that climbs from the National Palace, in the centre of Sintra. It is the home of the travesseiro: thin puff pastry on the outside and egg and almond cream inside, which the house itself says was born during the Second World War. It also makes queijadas de Sintra, pastéis de Sintra and nozes douradas. There are two shops on the same street: Piriquita I and Piriquita II.
Hours and queues
Piriquita I opens every day from 8:30: until 19:00 on weekdays and until 19:30 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Piriquita II opens from 10:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and from 10:30 to 18:30 at weekends. In mid-morning and in the afternoon there is a queue, especially at weekends: go first thing or buy to take away. If you come on a Sunday from Lisbon, it is one of the few sure things open in the centre.

Qué pedir: a warm travesseiro, of puff pastry with egg and almond cream, and a queijada for the road.
