Loved this book for its conversational tone - it's a funny little slice of life of two men traveling in Portugal with their wives in the 60's-70's. Great as a travel book (not at all a guide, but an inspiration). I want to make a film out of it - little taverns, Fado, a baby... Loads of personal stories like you'd tell upon return from a great trip.
