You'll also be introduced to the country's rich culture, including the history of Portugal's vibrant visual identity and the folks at the heart of it all. There's even a chapter dedicated to those thinking of relocating to Portugal, including case studies on those who've made the move, tips on the best neighborhoods to invest in, and recommendations for architects and interior designers. So join in, hit the tiles and explore this fascinating country in Portugal: The Monocle Handbook.
