The car tours and walks in this book explore northwestern
Portugal - arguably the most beautiful part of the country.
Here, in the province of Minho, the lush greenness of the
coastal lowlands, the Costa Verde, contrasts sharply with the
mountainous interior - one of Europe's last wilderness areas.
While emphasising excursions in the country's only national
park, the Peneda-Gerês, the book also describes more gregarious
pursuits - visiting local markets, sampling vintages at the Port
wine lodges, and cruising on the river Douro. Northern Portugal
- or more specifically, northwestern Portugal, is arguably the
most beautiful part of the country. Here, in the province of
Minho, the lush greenness of the coastal area, the Costa Verde,
contrasts sharply with the exciting but stark and wild interior
of the Peneda-Gerês National Park. |
