Talk:Sintra

message: "Sintra is unique in the concelhos of Portugal in having the municipality seat in a town, despite having 2 cities in the municipality (Agualva-Cacém and Queluz)."
:this is biasedy status does not mean much ar 1974, almost every neighbourhood around big ces can obtain that status. No one doubts that Sintra is a town bse it does want to be a town, it prefersat status, possibily a plicity stunt, and is mormportant than that bedroom communities that are called cities ioprly. --Pedro 11:20, 1ctobe26 (UTC

The initial comment is completely pointless in this article. ICE77 (talk) 05:08, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I read the article, improved some sections and made an overhaul of the layout.
1. "There are municipal records from this period of a number of donations and grants; between 1157 and 1158, Afonso Henriques donated to the master of the Knights Templar, Gualdim Pais, various houses and estates in the centre of Sintra.[14]
In 1210, the Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra acquired four houses in Pocilgais, releasing them in 1230, while in 1264 it controlled homes and vineyards in Almargem.[14] In 1216 the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora (Lisbon) also held a vineyard in Colares and, in 1218, estates in Queluz and Barota. At some time between 1223 and 1245, the Monastery of Santa Maria de Alcobaça held various privileges in the territory. The military Order of Santiago owned an estate in Arrifana in 1260."
This is just a digression with pointless information. It should be removed.
2. "Along with Sintra the King conceded the municipalities of Vila Viçosa, Abrantes and Almada, to the consternation of his private council; following a confrontation the King abandoned his duties and travelled to Sintra, where he remained for a month on the pretext of hunting."
What's the story behind the "confrontation"?
3. "John (1385–1433), first King of the second dynasty, broke the tradition of transferring Sintra to the Casa da Rainha (Queen's property)."
What does this mean (in particular "Queen's property")?
4. "With the decrease in mortality rates, the region has undergone a general increase in infant births, primarily associated with late births, but also an increase in seniors in the community (56.5% in 2001)."
What is implied by "primarily associated with late births"?
