Acknowledgements

We would like to thank our publisher for giving two untried and inexperienced writers this exciting opportunity. Also to the staff at various Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) offices and tourist information bureaux for their assistance, to the complete strangers encountered on these walks for offers of sustenance, and most importantly to the people of Portugal for being so welcoming.

Additional thanks to our friends and family for help and forbearance.

Updates to this guide

While every effort is made by our authors to ensure the accuracy of guidebooks as they go to print, changes can occur during the lifetime of an edition. Any updates that we know of for this guide will be on the Cicerone website (www.cicerone.co.uk/889/updates), so please check before planning your trip. We also advise that you check information about such things as transport, accommodation and shops locally. Even rights of way can be altered over time.

The route maps in this guide are derived from publicly available data, databases and crowd-sourced data. As such they have not been through the detailed checking procedures that would generally be applied to a published map from an official mapping agency, although naturally we have reviewed them closely in the light of local knowledge as part of the preparation of this guide.

We are always grateful for information about any discrepancies between a guidebook and the facts on the ground, sent by email to updates@cicerone.co.uk or by post to Cicerone, Juniper House, Murley Moss, Oxenholme Road, Kendal, LA9 7RL, United Kingdom.
