Northern Portugal

Northern Portugal is steadily developing its ecotourism, especially through a network of rural hotels and inns. The Peneda-Geres National Park has been creating and waymaking new footpaths. This guide includes sections on Porto, Porto wines and wine cruises on the river Douro and has a strong focus on the ancient agricultural way of life still followed here, illustrated with a wealth of photographs. It also includes: walking maps; pull-out touring maps; many short walks and picnic suggestions - suitable for hot summer days and for those with young children; and a unique update service with specific route-change information, free on-line.
