I'm fine with taking the second turn. I'm certainly not going to have the time to put out write-ups like I did for the WRE or ERE games, but I'll try and produce something worth reading.

I'm fine taking any number turn.

The Rules look good to me.

I could go either way regarding Portugal. Roleplaying reasons for Spain wanting to control the entire peninsula would be easy enough to come up with, although I'm not sure Spain ever tried in this period.

On the other hand, not being allowed to take a relatively rich province (I'm guessing, it is a capital) right next door would add a little to the challenge.

Personally, I'm going to play it as if Portugal attacks me, they're fair game, but otherwise I'll leave them alone.

They're allied with Britain, IIRC, which means that once we go for Objective #3 the conquest might be inevitable.

Just treat Portugal like any other faction. They're fair game for a bit of the old ultra-violence, but it is not required by the special rules. Historically, neither Hapsburg Spain or non-Hapsburg Spain had any legitimate claim to the Portuguese throne.
