There is no shortage of castles in Portugal. And they are all labeled on maps of the country so that when Martin and I were driving around Portugal in 2007 we simply planned our route so that we could stop by as many castles as possible. I think they're pretty neat.
So below are some pictures of castles that we found on our journey in 2007. They are all located in the southern half of Portugal. Some day we'll get to the northern half!
Some of these are of the same castle but I can't remember which ones. We only saw 3-4 castles on our drive Lagos-Evora-Obidos-Lisbon so don't go thinking we toured like 12 castles on this trip.
This one was neat, in the middle of a river. We couldn't quite figure out how to get over to it because there was nobody manning the boat there to take us. But there were people in the castle, and some sort of army training going on up top with people scaling down the walls.
Some of them are not in as good of shape as the others:
