Why is it the most beautiful castle in Portugal?🚩🚙/ Por que es el Castillo mas bonito de Portugal?🌏
It is definitely the most beautiful in the country and the most interesting and well-preserved of all those who visit, although our guide told us that being on an island and not having suffered wear and tear from battles meant that it was so well preserved, it barely suffered maintenance in 2012 before that it had never been touched, I think that the most difficult things to achieve are those that we hold most dear and of course the castle of Almourol will not be the exception, which for me makes it one of the most Or the most beautiful in Europe is that we only get to it using a boat and it is not throughout the year, in winter trips to the castle are suspended due to the danger since 80% of its soil is sandy and too dangerous when it gets wet. The boat ride with a tourist guide is 20 euros plus the entrance 4 in total you will spend 24 euros to take a walk on its walls.🌄🍍🌏
Si definitivamente es el mas bonito del pais y de todos los que visite el mas interesante y mas preservado, aunque nuestro guia nos decia que por estar en una isla y por no haber sufrido desgastes de batallas eso hizo que estuviera tan bien conservado, apenas sufrio un mantenimiento en el año 2012 antes de eso nunca habia sido tocado, creo que las cosas mas dificiles de alcanzar son las que les tenemos mas estimas y claro el castillo de Almourol no sera la exepcion lo que para mi lo convierte en uno de los mas o el mas bonito de europa es que solo llegamos a el utilizando un barco y no es durante todo el año, en invierno se suspenden los viajes al castillo por el peligro ya que 80% de su suelo es arenoso y demasiado peligroso cuando se moja. El paseo en bote con guia turistico son 20 euros mas la entrada 4 en total gastaras 24euros para dar un paseo en sus murallas.🙇♂️👀🚙
Start of adventure🚩🚙/ Inicio de la aventura🌏
If you want to live the experience, it should first be in late spring and summer since in winter there are rarely walks to the castle because it is dangerous, therefore the first step is to go to the Almourol castle page and make a reservation, you can do it On the internet, I'll give you some advice, places are limited despite the fact that there are rides until 5:00 p.m., ours was at 3:00 p.m. The weather is nice, but bring water and sunscreen because the heat here can reach 40 degrees, after making the reservation you will pay for the castle online and the boat in cash when the tour ends! Our guide was very kind and explained the whole history of the castle to us, as well as giving us an interesting talk about the conservation of the ecosystem, since the castle was built on the Tejo river and a century ago there was more than 8 meters of water in height compared to today. ... Therefore, if we do not take the appropriate measures, the castle could stop being submerged.🙇♂️🧭🚩🏰
Si quieres vivir la experiencia primeramente debe ser en finales de primavera y verano ya que en invierno rara vez hay paseos hacia el castillo pues es peligroso, por tanto el primer paso es ir a la pagina del castillo de Almourol y realizar una reservacion, podras realizarla por internet, te doy un consejo los cupos son limitados a pesar que hay paseos hasta las 17:00, el de nosotros fue a las 15:00 el clima es agradable sin embargo lleva agua y protector solar pues el calor puede llegar aqui a 40 grados, luego de hacer la reserva pagaras el castillo por internet y el bote en dinero en efectivo cuando se acaba el paseo! nuestro guia fue muy amable y nos explico toda la historia del castillo ademas de darnos una charla interesante de conservacion del ecosistema pues el castillo fue construido en el rio Tejo y hace un siglo habia mas de 8 metros de agua de altura en comparacion hoy en dia... Por tanto si no tomamos las medidas adecuadas el castillo podria dejar de estar sumergido.👨💻👀🌏🍍
40 minute adventure🚩🚙/ 40 minutos de aventura🌏
Despite Portugal being a fairly small country, it is one of the oldest in Europe, already in 1112 important battles were already being fought to seek independence from the Moors, for centuries the territory belonged to the Romans, then to the Moors but the latter civilization was the one that led great battles together with the Spanish to conquer and defend territories! Why build a castle in the middle of the river? I'll answer that now! After we got off the boat, we have forty minutes to see the entire castle, which is quite small. In fact, you can see it completely in thirty minutes. You have to climb the last tower to understand how it had a 360-degree field of vision.👀🧭
Apesar de Portugal ser un pais bastante pequeño es uno de los mas antiguos de europa, ya en 1112 ya se estaban librando batallas importantes para buscar la independencia de los Moros, durante siglos el territorio pertenecio a los Romanos, luego a los Moros pero esta ultima civilizacion fue la que libro grandes batallas junto con los españoles para conquistar y defender territorios! por que construir un castillo en el medio del rio?? eso te lo respondere ahora! luego que bajamos del bote tenemos cuarenta minutos para ver todo el castillo que es bastante pequeño, en realidad en treinta minutos lo ves completo, tienes que subir a la ultima torre para entender como tenia un campo de vision de 360 grados.👀🧠
History🚩🚙/ Historia🌏
The famous and most important Portuguese character Alfonso Henrique was the one who led the battle to conquer these lands from the Moors, historians believe that this happened in the year 1129, before he was the first official king of Portugal D. Henrique served in the cavalry Templar therefore this could be said to be a castle built by Templars! Of course, we must clarify that before the construction there were some Roman ruins here, so the Templars took advantage of it to build the bases of the castle! Later, trade was carried out here in the middle of the Age of Discovery, the castle was built on the ship to serve as a warlike structure for lookouts and protection of the country's border area, since Muslim territory was to the south and Portugal to the north and center. It was built in a very interesting strategic area.🧠🌅👨💻
El famoso y mas importante personaje Portugues Alfonso Henrique fue el que libro la batalla para conquistar estas tierras de los Moros, los historiadores creen que esto ocurrio en el año 1129, antes de ser el primer rey oficial de Portugal D. Henrique servia en la caballeria templaria por tanto este podria decirse que es un castillo construido por templarios! claro hay que aclarar que antes de la construccion habian unas ruinas romanas aqui por lo que los templarios la provecharon para construir las bases del castillo! posteriormente aqui se realizaban comercios a mediados de la era de los descubrimientos, el castillo fue construido en el barco para servir como estructura belica de vigia y proteccion del area limitrofe del pais pues al sur estaba el territorio musulman y al norte y centro Portugal por lo que fue construido en una zona estrategica muy interesante.🏰🚩👀🧭
Inside the walls🚩🚙/ Dentro de las murallas🌏
When you enter, despite being full of tourists, the car companies have a limited number of people, making the experience beautiful, relaxed, and you have your own personal space to take photos wherever you want! Incredible how simple the castle is too minimalist? because? The castle does not belong to the government or the municipal chamber, it belongs to the Portuguese army and their order is to leave it 100% original, just building a bridge to access the entrance of the castle since the original bridge was vertical and too dangerous, this It is the only alteration of the castle!👨💻🏰🚩
Cuando entras apesar de estar llenos de turistas las empresas de turismos llevan una cantidad limitada de personas haciendo la experiencia bonita, relajada y tienes tu propio espacio personal para tomarte fotos donde quieras! increible la sencilles que tiene el castillo demasiado minimalista? por que? el castillo no es del gobierno ni de la camara municipal, le pertenece al ejercito Portugues y la orden de ellos es dejarlo 100% original apenas construyendo un puente para acceder a la entrada del castillo ya que el puente original era vertical y demasiado peligroso, esta es la unica alteracion del castillo!🧭👀🌅
Incredible experience🚩🚙/ Increible experiencia🌏
It is amazing how soldiers were here where I am more than a century ago, and that their job was to defend the Portuguese territory with crossbow, sword and spears, here it is known that a small group slept between the walls, so these walls were their Second home!🧭🚩🏰
Es asombroso como soldados estaban aqui donde yo me encuentro hace mas de un siglo, y que su trabajo era defender con ballesta, espada y lanzas el territorio Portugues, aqui se sabe que un pequeño grupo dormia entre las murallas por lo que estas murallas era su segunda casa! 🙇♂️🌏
