PHOTOPortugal [Pocket Edition]

Portugal is a country of magical places, of History and traditions, with a wide range of points of interest, which largely exceed its small land territory.

Once a country of Explorers who adventured through unimaginable latitudes and longitudes, using the stars and ingenuity to overcome the challenges encountered during their oceanic crossings. The mainland and the islands are a reflection of that and other undertakings by Portuguese people, evident in its costumes, beliefs, gastronomy and, of course, the vast building heritage and protected national areas, which resisted the progress of civilisation.

Traveling across Portugal – either by sea, land or air – is a journey over time and space, connecting with the past while moving towards the future, a rare coexistence between tradition and modernness. It’s also to find story telling tiles, landscapes with volcanoes or multicoloured plains, secret havens with idyllic waterfalls and places with friendly people, castle’s stones which tell tales of heroes and lighthouses that still guide sailors. For all these reasons, Portugal is a source of countless stories to tell, and others untold, a visual poetry that catches the eye and triggers emotions.

This book, written in English and Portuguese, signed by two renowned professional photographers and passionate story tellers, introduces Portugal from a new perspective, presenting it not only to the locals, but also the visitors from all over the world, providing inspiration and useful information, which will allow them to (re)discover the country in a unique way. Therefore, it’s a valuable book for anyone who wishes to create unforgettable memories of Portugal.
