Why is that Portuguese sounds like Spanish or French at times?

Portuguese can sound like Spanish or French because all three are closely related, in that they all descended from Vulgar Latin, which was the everyday spoken language of the Roman Empire. After the Roman Empire fell, over time, the people living in its various former provinces who formerly spoke Latin begin to diverge in speech. Think about how people in different parts of your own country speak with different accents. If they didn't have regular communication with each other, over time, their accents would get so strong that, while they sounded somewhat similar, they may not be able to understand each other. This is more or less what happened to Latin, which resulted in the various Romance languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, as well as Italian, Romanian, Catalan, Occitan, and many others).

In the case of Portuguese, Spanish and French - a long time ago, perhaps 1500 years ago, they were all the same language. At some point, they split into two languages: the mother of Spanish and Portuguese on one side, and the mother of French (and Occitan and Catalan) on the other. Later, Spanish and Portuguese split into two languages. This is why, grammatically, Spanish and Portuguese are more similar than French and Portuguese.

Superficially, French and Portuguese can sound similar for a few reasons - they both share the uvular R (the 'throaty' as opposed to 'rolled' R of Spanish) and they both have nasal vowels. However, both of these similarities are more or less artifacts of history - Portuguese isn't more closely related, by descent, to French than Spanish is.
