Description
Discover the enigmatic country of Portugal, a member of the European Union and NATO, yet often overlooked on the continent's southwest rim. Barry Hatton sheds light on this unique corner of Europe, blending historical analysis with personal anecdotes to reveal the idiosyncrasies that make the Portuguese distinct.
From the patchwork of diverse landscapes to the country's love of food and seductive lifestyle, Hatton explores the complex path that has brought Portugal to its current state. With a deep understanding of his adopted country, the author provides a thorough overview of Portugal's history and culture.
With its rich history and beautiful landscapes, Portugal is a fascinating country that is often misunderstood. This book offers a fresh perspective on a country that is easy to overlook, but is certainly worth learning more about.
