    Nope.
    Same architect of the Palácio Hotel do Buçaco, though.

    Not Palacio da Pena, But it is in Sintra! :D

    Since you already guessed its location.
    The whole thing is called Quinta da Regaleira.

    So, for example, the island where the castle of Almourol stands, in the middle of the Tagus, dosen´t belong to Europe? Americans and geography...

    His point is that it was needed land connection to belong to a continent.

    From a geological stand point, yes. What we call Madeira is in Africa.

    Not to drag this too far, but just how does a volcanic island born in the middle of the ocean "belongs" to a continent ?

    Because it belongs to the tectonic plate of that continent.

    Continents move and collide with each other, that’s what causes earthquakes.
    Do a quick search and you'll find out quite easily that info on the net.

    I'm aware of all of that, that's why I don't call Madeira, Africa.

    Nobody does.

    Politically belongs to Europe. It IS Europe.

    Ever since it’s discovery, it never was anything but European.

    Since geological studies we can tell it belongs to the African tectonic plate. Not that it makes any political difference, its still Europe.
