About This Book

A travel account records a pleasure trip through Portugal from north to south, giving vivid impressions of cities, riverside quarters, mountain retreats, and coastal scenery encountered along a chosen itinerary. The narrative combines descriptive sketches of monuments, churches, cloisters, and Manueline architecture with antiquarian observations and notes on local customs and markets. Practical suggestions and route recommendations aim at readers seeking sunshine and relaxation, while colour illustrations and photographic reproductions complement the prose. A final chapter supplies concise hints for travellers.

Oh Christ! it is a goodly sight to see
What heaven hath done for this delicious land;
What fruits of fragrance blush on every tree,
What goodly prospects o’er the hills expand.
