So pretty! I am Portuguese and my family is from Portugal and this is beautiful. I use this in my home and get so many compliments. You can even cut out some photos and frame them if you want!

Beautiful coffee table book.

Stunning photos of Portugal, full of color, history and story.

Patterns of Portugal is a captivating journey through the soul of a nation steeped in mesmerizing architecture and rich history. Each page unfolds like a love letter to the country's vibrant culture and picturesque landscapes. It's not just a book; it's an experience—one that I eagerly anticipate sharing with my fellow adventurers. I've already secured a copy for myself, but I'll undoubtedly be purchasing more to gift to my traveler friends. It's a true treasure for both armchair explorers and seasoned travelers alike.

Beautiful and inspiring, though not quite as much as the author's first book about India

I gave this book as a gift and it exceeded my expectations! It has a really nice binding and the paper is thick. The photos are excellent! Check the dimensions because it’s a little smaller than most coffee table books, but I was actually really pleased by that. I recommend it to anyone who would enjoy the beauty of Portugal.

Patterns of Portugal is a total delight. Reading it transported me completely to a place I have never been and now very much want to go. Through stunning photos and beautifully written text I lived, ever so briefly amongst olive groves, tinged with afternoon light and walked past vividly patterned buildings, one more beautiful than the next. Christine's passion for the rich history of craft and culture is palpable throughout. I highly recommend this gorgeous jewel of a book.

Incroyable!
