This book brings together texts and drawings by 20 Sketchers, both Portuguese and from abroad, accompanied by 11 Portuguese-speaking authors. A project born out of the artist collective Urban Sketchers, coordinated by Mário Linhares, with the support of Turismo de Portugal, this second edition of Sketch Tour Portugal challenges the invited sketchers and writers to portray Portugal through their art, while inspiring others to travel across these diverse lands.
“The secret of travel is not about going somewhere.
It’s about opening yourself up to the unexpected:
submersing yourself in the travel experience.
In Portugal, it’s easy to be caught up
in this dance and be carried away –
the perfect antidote to weariness.”
ALGARVE
Reconhecido como destino de férias em Portugal, o Algarve revela-se generosamente a quem o explora com um olhar curioso. É feito de muitos lugares num só. Muitas línguas diferentes, muitas paisagens diferentes, muitas pessoas diferentes numa única região. De leste a oeste, é um destino que vale a pena explorar.
