Northern Portugal car tours and walks

Guide to discovering the northern region of Portugal, through 30 walking excursions and 3 tourist itineraries by car. With cartographic tables and overview map, as well as the city plan of Porto, Braga, Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima, Ponte da Barca and Arcos de Valdevez. English text. The guide, with accompanying fold-out touring maps, describes 3 car tours and 30 long and short walks in Northern Portugal. Here, in the province of Minho (arguably the most beautiful part of the country), the lush greenness of the coastal lowlands, the Costa Verde, contrasts sharply with the mountainous interior — one of Europe's last wilderness areas. While emphasizing excursions in the country's only national park, the Peneda-Gerês, the book also describes more gregarious pursuits — visiting local markets, sampling at the Port wine lodges, and cruising on the Douro. With touring map and the city plans of Porto, Braga, Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima, Ponte da Barca and Arcos de Valdevez.
