Hi, Paulo...and Welcome to the Forum!!

If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen you will see about 4 others from Portugal.

That's a very pretty little tortoise. I'm not real familiar with the Mediterranean species of tortoise, so I'll let others affirm your species for you.

Hello and Welcome! My brother served a mission there from our church and still goes back there to surf, occasionally. To me, your tortoises looks like greek tortoises, but I am more familiar with sulcatas and star tortoises. Good luck and someone much more qualified will come along and help you out with the identification of your tortoises
