Portugal has much more on offer than the charms of cosmopolitan Lisbon
and the beaches and golf courses of the Algarve, as enticing as they are
to holiday-makers. As you will discover in the sumptuously illustrated
pages of this guide, it is a land with a fascinating seafaring history,
unspoilt villages, fine wines, and some of Europe's most captivating
scenery. This expanded and updated edition in the award-winning
Eyewitness series covers every aspect of this varied country, breaking
past the south coast resorts to reveal the least explored corner of
Western Europe. Using the unique cutaway maps and 3D models, visit
Oporto's cathedral district, enjoy panoramic views from the mountaintop
village of Mosanto, and marvel at the luxury yachts in the harbour at
Vilamoura. You'll also find the perfect introduction to Portugal's
maritime provinces, Madeira and the Azores, which boast fine white
beaches, old towns, forests, and unforgettable dolphin watching.
Full-colour maps and plans enable you to explore the diverse regions in
depth, whilst walks, scenic routes and thematic tours will ensure you
won't miss a thing. Illustrated food features highlight regional
gastronomic delights and the guide comes complete with an impressive
selection of restaurants and hotels. Equipped with over 1,000 sumptuous
photographs, tour the rugged landscapes, rural backwaters and
sophisticated cities of beautiful Portugal - this guide will lead the
way.
