This touring guide to Portugal contains varied countryside from the broad sweeping plains of the southern Alentejo, the spectacular mountains of the central Serra da Estrela, to the green and lush valleys of the Minho in the north-west. Much of this countryside is little known by visitors, and often little explored. This book contains specific and carefuly worked out tours through the most picturesque parts of the country and is full of advice and practical information on such topics as finding accommodation and places to eat.
