Finding a castle to visit is not difficult in Spain because, according to the Official Tourist Board there just about two thousand five hundred. For comparison there are eight hundred in the United Kingdom and whilst France claims roughly five-thousand this figure includes a lot of questionable small Chateaux in that number.
My blogging Pal Brian has some interesting observations on French Chateaux and I think you might be interested to visit this post and then more of his site…
Chateau Saumur … a love-hate experience!
