Have you ever wondered about travelling to Portugal on holiday? Well, as you certainly already know, we do have a great weather, beautiful beaches, breathtaking winter landscapes, excellent food, lots of historic monuments and paradisiacal sites. In addition, it is hard to find a country with such hospitable people. Yes, we really know how to welcome tourists. This book was written for them, especially for those who love Rock and Metal and wish to travel around this wonderful and peaceful country.
So, this is my challenge to you: take this book in your very own hands and plan your visit to Portugal all year round. Make this trip as pleasant as possible. Make it unforgettable! Maybe you can visit several record stores after returning from a walk on the beach. Who knows if you are about to find that one record that you have been searching for?
Afterwards, maybe you can get a body piercing and the tattoo you have been dreaming about for so long, just before renting a motorcycle and taking part in a motorcycle parade, at full speed and maximum volume coming out of your speakers.
On the other hand, if you are a musician and miss making some new tunes, maybe you could go into a rehearsal site or a recording studio for a few hours and write your next hit. Portugal is such an inspiring country, you know. To enjoy the full experience, maybe you should go out at night to that great bar or festival that you have read about in this handbook.
Yes, this is what A Portuguese Rock and Metal Route – The Underground Guide is all about: to guide you into the world of Metal, Rock, Punk, Hardcore and the alternative culture in Portugal. There is a lot to explore, but if you are an open-minded person, this is just a small part of all the possibilities that are ahead of you. And yes, this is just the beginning!
