The Old Castles Country

by mcb - last update: Jul 20, 2004

I live in and i love Portugal

Mertola Castle - A Moors town
The old Castles Country

Portugal as born in 12 th century, though battles and big wars, we became in the 16th century the biggest smaller country in the world.
Since the decolonization the biggest became the smaller.


So now we are small but we are very proud of it. Portuguese likes his country.

Have a good trip to Portugal

The portuguese wine

" Wine are like men,
they get better with time"


From North to South, Portugal shows a vast variety of wines, from the pleasant freshness of Green wine to Port wine, the most
generous in the World.

I love PORTO WINE but i don't forget MADEIRA WINE as well.

My favourite table wines are the Alentejo ones. A region of high quality wine's production.

 Catarina, a great view of Portugal and it's many delightful places to visit! Nice T'Logue of the Tagus River too! I'm sorry that I was so tired each day that I missed all that Nightlife till 5 AM. Hey, the road system is much better than you let on!

 Portugal is one of the only countries I haven't visited in Western Europe yet. Need to book a flight there soon, since it's so cheap nowadays to fly there. Your Obidos piccie is very good, it looks like an interesting town!
