Canadian Milos Raonic took time out from the Estoril Open on Wednesday to visit the historic town of Sintra, where Portuguese favourite Frederico Gil resides.

"It was really amazing, I got to do some awesome things," said Raonic. "It was a lot of fun. I got to see the culture, it was amazing to see how the town was thriving."

Raonic met with Dr Fernando Seara, the Mayor of Sintra, took a tour of the market square and visited the famous Piriquita bakery, where their pastry specialities include Travesseiros and Queijadas.

Sintra was designated a World Heritage Site on account of its architecture in 1995 and has since become a popular tourist destination.

Day-trippers from nearby Lisbon visit the 19th century Pena Palace, the ninth century Castelo dos Mouros and the summer residence of the Kings of Portugal.

Raonic is scheduled to play Portuguese wild card Joao Sousa in the second round on Thursday.
