Замок Каштру-Лаборейру (Castelo de Castro Laboreiro) расположен в муниципалитете Мелгасу в труднодоступной горной местности на высоте 1033 метров над уровнем моря, выше рек Минью и Лима. Сейчас это место интегрировано в Национальный парк Peneda-Gerês. Здесь совершенно уникальные суровые условия – первозданные горы и бедная почва, хотя археологические находки доказывают существование здесь людей несколько тысяч лет назад. Здешний фольклор является самым подлинным, красочным и радостным в Португалии. Культура, гастрономия, искусство, художественные и традиционные ремесла были сохранены здесь с древних времен до сегодняшнего дня... Замок Каштру-Лаборейру был построен в 955 году, затем он был восстановлен в XIV веке… и представляет собой пояс стен, возведенных вокруг резервуара с водой. Сейчас здесь руины, но когда-то были башни, донжон и прочие замковые строения. До XVIII века крепость имела важнейшее стратегическое значение для отражении войск соседней Галисии, и позднее Испании, чьему штурму замок подвергся во время Войны за Независимость в 1666 году. Да и в Пиренейской войне с наполеоновской Францией в 1801 году был эпизод, связанный с этим замком... Но прошло время, и крепость утратила свое значение…. и, кроме того, удаленность и невозможность поддерживать замок привели к тому, что от былых построек остались одни руины... ... А вот ворота сохранились. Главный вход – это так называемые "Ворота Солнца". Они ориентированы на восток. "Ворота Предателей" или "Ворота Жабы" ориентированы на север. Сам двор крепости неоднократно использовался для сбора крупного рогатого скота и хранения товаров в случае угрозы. И это, по мнению экспертов, является уникальным явлением. Больше в замках Португалии такого специального двора не было, что указывает на важность отрасли животноводства для средневековых горных общин Кастро-Лаборейро. ...А еще в этих землях была выведена превосходная порода собак Као де кастро-лаборейро - отличающаяся силой и отменным здоровьем... первоначально пастушья, а сейчас прекрасная сторожевая собака и собака-компаньон. Её используют даже в португальской армии. Португальцы считают этих сторожевых собак частью своего...

A short 15 min or so hike up to the ruins. The views are stunning! Just note that the air IS thinner up in this town and so you may notice huffing and puffing a little more than usual on the walk up and down. I have slightly compromised lungs and noticed but it wasn't anything too concerning. Some of the best views in Portugal...

Lugar increíble y recomendadisimo!!! Desde el mirador se deja el coche y se accede por el camino de piedras que indica el castillo,en la subida lo primero que nos encontramos es la escultura de la cabeza de perro que es preciosa,subiendo a la derecha de la escultura del perro se puede apreciar un poco más lejos una roca que parece una tortuga (como curiosidad) y atractivo de la zona también pues tiene hasta imanes decorativos con todo esto....después de subir dos montañas rocosas,con escalones picados y barandillas se llega al castillo ,las ruinas son del muro y alguna puerta más,pero merece muchísimo la pena,las vistas al parque natural Peneda-gueres merecen muchísimo la pena y el esfuerzo,es seguro siempre que te mantengas en la ruta.Yo fui en jueves y había gente pero no mucha.
