3 Castles, Portuguese
"Castles in Spain,' still a common phrase in English, can conjure up romantic images of scenery in neighboring Spain. Although less well known, "Castles in Portugal" are also quite numerous and equally remarkable, romantic, and scenic. Virtually all have been fully restored since the 1930s, when preparations began for the 1940 Double Centenary celebrations. Major Portuguese castles are listed below and several of them have individual entries in this dictionary (noted in boldface type). This is by no means an exhaustive list.Lisbon Region São Jorge Castle Palmella Castle* Belém Tower Moorish Castle, Sintra Pena Palace, Sintra Tagus River ValleyCastle of Torres Novas/Castle of São Filipe (Setúbal)* Castle of Almourol Central/ Southern Portugal Castle of AbrantesCastle of Belver Castle of Silves (Algarve)Castle of Torres Vedras Castle of MarvãoCastle of Óbidos Castle of VideCastle of Peniche Castle of Alter do ChãoCastle of Ourém Castles of ElvasCastles of Tomar Castle of Estremoz*Castle of Pombal Castle of SalirCastle of Montemor-o-Velho Castle of BejaCastle of MértolaCastle of Bode*Castle of Louzã Castle of GuimarãesCastle of Feira Castle of LanhosoCastle of S.

4 Pintasilgo, Maria de Lourdes
(1930-2004)Catholic leader and social activist, chemical engineer, and politician. Born in Abrantes, to a middle class family, Pintasilgo had a distinguished record as a student in her Lisbon high school and at Lisbon's Instituto Superior Técnico where, in 1953, she graduated with an engineering degree in industrial chemistry. For seven years, she worked as an engineer for the Portuguese conglomerate Companhia União Fabril (CUF). A progressive Catholic who never formally joined a political party, Pintasilgo became a top lay Catholic leader in Portugal, as well as an influential, international Catholic leader in Catholic student, lay, and women's associations. She also attended Lisbon's Catholic University, where she became a student leader. During the final period of the dictatorship under Marcello Caetano, she held various government posts related to social welfare and women's affairs. In the first provisional government following the Revolution of 25 April 1974, Pintasilgo was secretary of state for social welfare and, by early 1975, became minister of social affairs. That same year, she became Portugal's first ambassador to the United Nations Educational and Social Organization.In July 1979, she became prime minister, following a call from President António Ramalho Eanes, and served in a caretaker role until January 1980. During her brief term, she worked to improve social security coverage and health and social welfare. She was Portugal's first woman prime minister and, following Britain's Margaret Thatcher, was Europe's second woman to serve in that office. In 1986, she ran as an independent for the presidency of the Republic but was unsuccessful. In 1987, she began a two-year term following election as a member of the European Parliament. She died suddenly and unexpectedly in July 2004.Historical dictionary of Portugal > Pintasilgo, Maria de Lourdes

5 Tagus, River
The Tagus (Rio Tejo in Portugal, Rio Tajo in Spain) is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula. It rises in east-central Spain, east of Madrid, and flows west across Spain to the Portuguese border for about 60 kilometers (36 miles), forming a section of the Luso-Spanish border, then turns southwest and enters the Atlantic at Lisbon. The Tagus estuary is an important harbor resource. About 16 kilometers (10 miles) above Lisbon, the Tagus burgeons into a 11 kilometer (7-mile-wide) lagoon that narrows at Lisbon to a channel of some 3 kilometers (2 miles) wide and 18 kilometers (8 miles) long, blocked in part by a sand bar. The Tagus is navigable as far as the town of Abrantes, roughly 240 kilometers (146 miles) upriver. In tradition and history, this river acts as a kind of dividing line between north and south Portugal, each with its different regions and features.
