It was only 15kms on to Lindoso. We arrived after 6pm and go straight to a recommended parking place just below the Castelo. The cloud is low and dark but at least it\u2019s not raining, yet. So we jump out for a quick walk around the castle. Lindoso is only a few kilometres short of the Spanish border and the Castelo or more accurately fortress was part of Portugal\u2019s defensive strategy in the 18th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
