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 emphasising 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. Whether you tour Northern Portugal by car or discover them on foot, Noel introduces you to the regions best beauty spots. We look forward to showing you around.
