| The Rough Guide to Portugal (Portugal (Rough Guides)) |
| Portugal is an astonishingly beautiful country; the rivers, forests and lush valleys of the north are a splendid contrast to its contorted southern coastline of beaches, cliffs and coves. If you’ve come from the arid plains of central Spain, Portugal’s dry southern Alentejo region doesn’t promise any immediate relief, but – unlike Spain – you don’t have to travel very far to witness so total a contrast that it’s hard, at first, to take in. Suddenly the landscape is infinitely softer and greener, with flowers and trees everywhere. Life also seems easier-paced and the people more courteous; the Portuguese talk of their nation as a land of brandos costumes – gentle ways. |

| The Rough Guide Lisbon (Pocket Guides (Pocket)) |
| Lisbon is comfortably warm from April to October. The cooling Atlantic breezes mean it is less hot than Mediterranean cities on the same latitude, especially after sundown, though in terms of hours of sunshine it is one of Europe’s brightest capitals. Most Lisbon residents take their holidays in July and August, which means that some shops, bars and restaurants close for the period, while the local beaches are heaving. September and October are good times to go, as is June, when the city enjoys its main saints’ festivals. Lisbon’s westerly position means that it gets its fair share of rainfall, most of which falls in the winter months (November to March), when the whole city seems to become saturated. However, when the sun does appear, it can be gloriously warm, even in mid-winter. It is also worth noting that weather conditions can be extremely localized – it can be pouring in Sintra but clear in Lisbon, or cloudy in Lisbon and sunny south of the Tejo.
