Description
From the team at Monocle, the first in a new series of practical travel guides.
Following in the footsteps of the hugely successful Monocle Book of Italy and The Monocle Book of the Nordics, Monocle's latest title turns its focus to Portugal in an exciting new series of country-specific books.
A handbook in feel and tone, this practical guide will transport you to the sun-dappled hills of Lisbon and the winding streets of Porto as well as lesser-known locales from the Alentejo region, with its plentiful vineyards, to the dramatic landscapes of the Azores. Plus, discover Monocle's favourite places to stay, eat and shop - stop off at an elegant palacio, indulge in a family-run tasca and scour the streets for the creamiest pasteis de nata - and the cross-country trips we'd make (whether by car, boat or horse). You'll also be introduced to the country's rich culture, including the history of Portugal's vibrant visual identity and the folks at the heart of it all. So join in, hit the tiles and explore this fascinating country in Portugal: The Monocle Handbook.
