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.
