Portugal has over 160 castles and fortresses distributed by most of the older cities and villages, especially in the borders with Spain.
Contrary to most castles elsewhere in Europe (especially in Central Europe), which were converted into more pleasant palaces, Portuguese castles maintained much of its medieval military characteristics due to the constant invasion threat from Spain.
This gives them a feel of how the original castles would have been in the past: strong, practical, rough and harsh strongholds with minimal comfort… it also gives us countless possibilities of tours to visit them, from a single-day tour out of Lisbon, to several-day tours through different regions of the country.
