A guidebook to 40 walks spread throughout Portugal, with a focus on the country’s many natural and national parks. Walks are graded from easy to challenging, with options to suit most abilities and ambitions.
The walks range from 5 to 46km (3–29 miles), with the two longest routes offering optional overnight stops; the day walks can be enjoyed in 2–11 hours. A handful of routes are easily accessible from Lisbon, with others covering Peneda-Gerês National Park, Serra da Estrela Nature Park and the Algarve.

Andrew Mok and Simon Whitmarsh are both keen walkers, covering over 2000km a year. They have walked extensively in Britain, doing (at least part) of all the major trails, have hiked across England twice, and have walked in most countries in Europe. More recently their addiction to mountains has increased, with treks in the US (including many parts of the Appalachian trail), Australia, New Zealand, Andrew's native Hong Kong, and Nepal (Everest Base Camp). They are both doctors, a General Practitioner and a Consultant Paediatrician, who decided to write this book after being delighted and astounded by the walking opportunities of Portugal.
