The Smell of Olhão

ENGLISH EDITION ONLY Travel guides about Portugal and the Algarve in all languages are filled with glossy drivel about the 3,200 hours of sunshine a year, the endless virgin beaches, the cheap booze and the picturesque fish restaurants. Those guidebooks call the Portuguese warm-hearted, spontaneous, generous, hospitable and cheerful, but they also write that about the Albanian, the Eskimo, the Hungarian, the Mongol and the Paraguayan. Well, this homage to Olhão is something completely different and an excellent alternative funbook for travellers and expats with an acquired smell and taste. Warning! This not another stupid travel guide.
