About this audio guide
This guide to the Museu Anjos Teixeira in Sintra follows a humble building down on Azinhaga da Sardinha through a string of unlikely working lives, from a watermill fed by the Rio do Porto onward. It brings in the sculptor Pedro Anjos Teixeira, born in Paris and apprenticed to his father at sixteen, a maker of shepherds, wine carriers and labourers. Best heard just inside, among the plaster models and bronzes.
