Portugal

By Regis St. Louis, Kate Armstrong, Gregor Clark, Kerry Walker
Lonely Planet, $22.99, 531 pages

Lonely Planet’s Portugal is a colorful and lively look at the exotic and lovely land of Portugal.

Like the Lonely Planet guide to the Middle East, Portugal is a look into the culture of Portugal, where to stay, where to eat, what to make sure to see, and what to expect.

This book is full of detailed descriptions of hot spots to visit, alongside brief explanations of why certain locations are of importance. Oh, and why not to be afraid of “wolves”…you’ve got to read it to find out!

There are detailed restaurant reviews, and maps illustrating street routes to take to get to said locations.

Like Middle East, this is also a great resource for the traveler or the individual who simply wants to get a nice look at what life in Portugal is like. Happy reading!
