Book Description
Portugal is both a celebrated and an unknown land. Millions come to enjoy its beaches and the fashionable coastal cities of Lisbon and Porto. In this sense it looms large in the minds of many. But its out-of-the-way places, its turbulent history and contemporary challenges are little-known outside of the country's boundaries. From autumn 2018 to spring 2019, British journalist Stephen Powell travelled the length of Portugal, following a zigzag path of nearly 1,500 kilometres on foot. Away from the mass tourism, he wanted to form his own unhurried impressions of this very distinctive country. He discovered a very mixed reality. The dark side was the blight of rural exodus that is emptying so many villages. But he also found a profoundly generous, warm-hearted people with time to converse - a gift that is not found everywhere. "Stephen Powell's beautifully written account of his life-changing walk through Portugal enriches the reader with his insights and impressions of the country's history, culture, scenery and spirit. For me, the book was a fascinating journey of discovery through Portugal's lesser-known provinces, further enhanced with exquisite illustrations by two of his daughters, Megan and Rachel. Simply wonderful." Valerie Poore, memoir author

Book Description
Changing lives at fifty plus is not an easy option. So when Ken and Sue, an English couple, fell in love with Alombada, a small rural working village at the top of a mountain in the Beiras region of Portugal, a few days into their first holiday together, they took a decision which completely altered their lives. Over the two to three years it took to buy a field of brambles and build a home and holiday apartments they kept a diary. The fun really started once they realised they would never require the Portuguese word for "bored." From the start Ken and Sue faced setbacks at every stage, often appearing impossible, but they were made of sterner stuff and refused to give up, enjoying their new lives together and integrating fully into a community which hasn't changed for generations. Their refreshing and sometimes unconventional way of dealing with an intransigent, bureaucratic system is entertaining, exasperating and thoroughly enjoyable. A heart-warming and moving tale, with characters and locations brought vividly to life, which shows you can really make your dreams a reality as long as you have a passion for adventure (and eucalyptus flavoured honey!). ...Sue, heaving a great sigh, started to walk away with tears in her eyes. I caught up with her, put my arms round her shoulders, looked her in the eyes and asked earnestly: "How much do you really want to live here?" "Desperately." "Okay then, let's go and see what can be done." ...Just before noon, I glanced out of the window. Natalio was walking past pushing a wheelbarrow, which had the four legs of a porker sticking up in the air. "I've just seen Tuesday's lunch going by," I called out. "That's what I call fresh."
