Lizard

The Tampada de Mafra was established as a royal hunting reserve by King Joao V when he built the palace-monastery at Mafra, a few miles away. It is still a reserve today, with plenty of semi-wild deer and wild boar.

We saw a wild boar, but the picture I got isn't good enough for blip.

Can anyone help me identify this lizard?

More pictures from Mafra, including the Tampada, are here.

Some more information about Portugal during the reign of Joao V from Wikipedia:

John V was the greatest patron of the arts in the Europe of his time. The Portuguese Empire was then extremely rich ? Portugal collected more gold from the newly found Brazilian mines over a few decades than Spain took from the remaining of Central and South America over 400 years; there were also the very productive diamond and precious gemstone mines that kept the royal coffers full. With this endless supply of money he bought some of the greatest art collections that were available at the time ? at a point, in one single occasion, over 80 paintings by great Italian masters were taken in to the royal palace in Lisbon. The music library, already the greatest in the world, was enlarged as was the royal library and other libraries in the country. The King insisted his ambassadors would keep him informed about the state of the arts in foreign countries and would buy only the best from the most reputable artists of the time. Unfortunately most of the great collections amassed by John V and the Portuguese aristocracy, along with the vast majority of the city of Lisbon were suddenly destroyed by the great earthquake of 1755 followed by a tsunami and fire.
