Even if you've never thought of visiting Portugal, you may just want to move there after perusing this gorgeous book. Though one of the oldest European states, Portugal—due to its unique geography and its diverse cultural influences— remains intriguingly insular. Anne de Stoop's enthusiastic prose, sprinkled with quotations from Portuguese literature, accompanies stunning photographs of landscapes, buildings, quiet interiors, and spectacular landmarks— from the wine regions of the north, to the Moorish-influenced Algarve region at the mouth of the Mediterranean, and everywhere in between. A visitor's guide, complete with food, lodging, and shopping suggestions, adds a practical component to this engrossing tour of Portugal.
