    The courtyard of the castle 'keep' at Monsaraz was converted many years ago to a bullring - making it the oldest known one in Portugal. Although the fights are only held infrequently, the tiny village is quite a festive place when they do take place. In the meantime, this area also serves as the local football pitch to make sure that the young Portugese lads will be in the best of shape for the next European Cup championships!

    If you get a little bored with the action in the parade ground, whether it be football or bullfighting, you can always admire the view! We had a really fantastic day to enjoy this beautiful village!

     What a wonderful castle in great surroundings ! It is always great for me to find such Azulejos in Portugal !    		HORSCHECK Thu May 22, 2008 21:20 UTC
     Gorgeous page about this Portuguese gem. Brilliant photos as well. I especially like the photo of the Azulejos which I know from other cities in Portugal. Well done.

     Excellent page on Monsaraz which I didn't see during my Portugese trip. I loved the pictures (especially the view from the Keep) and tips, including your 'post office adventure).    		Jim_Eliason Fri Apr 6, 2007 15:51 UTC
     great page!
