Urban areas are powerhouses of socio-economic growth, democracy and development, functioning as catalysts for inclusion and innovation; 2. Worldwide urbanization has led to an increasing number of people living in cities and feeling more connected with urban lifestyle which has translated to more people visiting cities looking for diversity, intercultural dialogue, innovation and exchange of knowledge; 3. Urban tourism constitutes an essential driver to the socio-economic development of many cities and their surroundings rural areas and contributes significantly to innovation and the conservation and promotion of natural and cultural resources; 4. The growth of urban tourism has created opportunities for development but also challenges for cities to manage environmental and socio-cultural impacts and the relationship between visitors and host communities, mobility, security, and flows of people. 5. The COVID19 crisis has put the tourism sector at a near standstill, with a particular impact on urban tourism and small businesses; at the same time measures to contain the pandemic such as remote work and the accelerated use of communication technologies reinforced tourism- related trends such as mobile life and lifestyle migration.

We provide authentic accommodations, luggage transfers, and some meals, along with comprehensive Route Notes, detailed maps, and 24-hour emergency assistance. This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. Overview The northern reaches of Portugal exude a rural beauty unlike anywhere else. At once rugged and peaceful and wholly magnificent, the steep granite mountains of Minho and gentle hills of the Douro Valley each embody a distinct Portuguese spirit and exploring them by foot is a true privilege. You’ll begin in the spellbinding province of Minho, a rich patchwork of soaring slopes and emerald- green terraces criss-crossed and climbed by ancient, rugged shepherd trails that link tiny secluded stone villages. This is the most contemplative, and immersive, way to experience rural Portugal: your solitude is part of the adventure as Garrano ponies, Barossã cattle and a shepherd tending his flock may be your only companions. Pathways then point to the Douro River Valley, where vintners have been producing Portugal’s prized port wines for generations.

  • The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1
    The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1 Paulo Jorge Fernandes Autónoma University of Lisbon [email protected] Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses National University of Ireland [email protected] Manuel Baiôa CIDEHUS-University of Évora [email protected] Abstract The political history of nineteenth-century Portugal was, for a long time, a neglected subject. Under Salazar's New State it was passed over in favour of earlier periods from which that nationalist regime sought to draw inspiration; subsequent historians preferred to concentrate on social and economic developments to the detriment of the difficult evolution of Portuguese liberalism. This picture is changing, thanks to an awakening of interest in both contemporary topics and political history (although there is no consensus when it comes to defining political history). The aim of this article is to summarise these recent developments in Portuguese historiography for the benefit of an English-language audience. Keywords Nineteenth Century, History, Bibliography, Constitutionalism, Historiography, Liberalism, Political History, Portugal Politics has finally begun to carve out a privileged space at the heart of Portuguese historiography. This ‘invasion’ is a recent phenomenon and can be explained by the gradual acceptance, over the course of two decades, of political history as a genuine specialisation in Portuguese academic circles. This process of scientific and pedagogical renewal has seen a clear focus also on the nineteenth century. Young researchers concentrate their efforts in this field, and publishers are more interested in this kind of works than before. In Portugal, the interest in the 19th century is a reaction against decades of ignorance. Until April 1974, ideological reasons dictated the absence of contemporary history from the secondary school classroom, and even from the university curriculum.
