The go-to Northern Portugal travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. 


Strap on your boots and discover Northern Portugal on foot with the Sunflower Northern Portugal travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. 


The Sunflower Northern Portugal guide is indispensable for hiking in Northern Portugal or seeing Northern Portugal by car. 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.
