The outside walls of this castle
have obviously been
restored to a great degree.
You can see the Portguese flag
proudly flying high above the
tower |

Well manicured grounds, but
no people. It was
fantastic! We had it all to
ourselves

The
walls stood roughly 12
meters tall I believe. The tops
of the towers even higher

Every castle needs its church,
and
there the bell tower still
rings the hour of the day

Nice
wall. I wanted to dig under
it, supporting my tunnel with
wooden timbers, until I reached
well into the courtyard. After
that, I would have lit my tunnel
on fire, burning away the support
timbers, collapsing the tunnel,
and hopefully, the entire castle
wall!
Just
my idea of a fun morning
