From the northern slopes of the Douro Valley to the craggy cliffs of the Algarve, there's more to Portugal than golf courses. Rugged landscapes, ancient cities and quiet rural backwaters are beautifully illustrated and elegantly described with unique cutaway maps and 3D models. Tips on where to find the juiciest sardines and finest port show that Portugal is not just a feast for the eyes.
An ideal introduction to the country, the guide locates Portugal geographically, setting it in both modern and historical context and explains how life changes throughout the year. It also features an overview of the many specialities, main sight seeing attractions and a complete area by area guide; all described with maps, photographs and detailed illustrations.
Expertly researched information on hotels, shops, restaurants, bars, sports and entertainments ensure all your needs are taken care of; while a survival guide section offers you practical advice on everything from posting a letter to navigating public transport.
