Portugal: The Monocle Handbook - A manual for everyone from holidaymakers to hoteliers

From the team at Monocle, the first in a new series of practical travel guides. Following in the footsteps of the hugely successful Monocle Book of Italy and The Monocle Book of the Nordics, Monocle-s latest title turns its focus to Portugal in an exciting new series of country-specific books. A handbook in feel and tone, this practical guide will transport you to the sun-dappled hills of Lisbon and the winding streets of Porto as well as lesser-known locales from the Alentejo region, with its plentiful vineyards, to the dramatic landscapes of the Azores. Plus, discover Monocle-s favourite places to stay, eat and shop - stop off at an elegant palácio, indulge in a family-run tasca and scour the streets for the creamiest pastéis de nata - and the cross-country trips we-d make (whether by car, boat or horse). You-ll also be introduced to the country-s rich culture, including the history of Portugal-s vibrant visual identity and the folks at the heart of it all. So join in, hit the tiles
