Description
Book Introduction
This book introduces Portugal as a place of comfort for those who are feeling down and want to escape somewhere.
Portugal, which is beginning to gain recognition as the 'hidden pearl of Europe', is not as glamorous and offers as many attractions as Spain.
Rather, even in big cities, compared to other European cities, the simple and sentimental old things stimulate people's curiosity.
The author says that even if you don't do anything, you will experience a magical feeling of peace just by staying there.
We also introduce unique cities near Lisbon and Porto that are worth a day trip, so you can enjoy a fun "Portugal trip" through a book.
Some people say that while traveling in Spain, they should also visit neighboring Portugal, but after traveling to Portugal, they will probably feel a deep regret about not being able to stay there for a long time.

Into the book
Perhaps the specialness is the result of honest time spent in ordinary daily life.
Although only 5 of the 27 routes are currently in operation, pushed out by buses, the 'power of time' shown by the remaining trams may be shining brightly enough to be called a landmark now, 100 years later.
--- p.21
That's why I think Portugal is more appealing.
There was a comfort there that comforted my heart without being special, a comfort that even lightened my shadow, which had been heavy when I left.
--- p.36
Perhaps it's an exaggeration to say that, as I gazed upon the monastery's corridors, which were much larger and more spacious than I'd imagined, I felt the thrill of the Alhambra Palace in Spain. It's perhaps Portugal's finest example of architecture, where peace and tranquility coexist amidst splendor and grandeur.
--- p.67
From some point on, I started to cringe at even the smallest failures and became frustrated as if I had lost everything in the world.
As I got older, I seemed to get more scared.
Just as I raised my sails here long ago toward an unknown land, I wonder if I, too, need the courage to start again.
--- p.101
Sometimes I wonder if I'm treating the trip I set out on to relax like homework.
So, commas are essential for travel.
If you've been traveling in a hurry, you need to slow down and recharge your batteries.
--- p.107
I think that the unique benefit of traveling is seeing with my own eyes the history I only learned about in books and realizing that it really existed.
I would say it is a process of giving concrete form to things that were vaguely and abstractly felt.
--- p.143
I thought my worries would get easier as I became an adult, but it seems like more difficult problems are being prepared step by step.
Maybe it's because I'm still an immature adult.
The desire to find answers to questions that have no answers continues even on a leisurely cruise ship.

Publisher's Review
When your heart cries out for quiet alone time
When the mind is so heavy that it cries out for quiet solitude, when it wants to gather its thoughts somewhere other than where it is now, people think about traveling.
Portugal has recently been gaining popularity as a great place to find leisure, even though it is not a resort in Europe.
The author says that there is no place like Portugal, a place where you can quietly comfort your heart without having to do anything, a place where you can walk wherever your feet take you, stop by a cafe, have a cup of tea, and just blank out the time without getting bored.
So, if anyone is looking for a relaxing vacation destination, I would recommend Portugal without a second thought.
Rather than simply introducing travel destinations, the author candidly describes the comfort and emotions he received there.
A hidden gem of Europe, offering tender comfort.
Porto is the city most often mentioned by people who have traveled to Europe as a city they want to visit again.
If you ask what was good, not many people will be able to give a very specific answer.
Simply because the city itself is a place that brings comfort and peace to people.
It's a city where a trip is complete just by watching the flowing river and the sunset and night view, and it's a place that becomes more attractive the more you walk around it.
Portugal is full of special cities besides Porto.
Portugal is a city with many unique and interesting places, including a place with many restaurants and cafes that are over 100 years old, a place where you can experience Harry Potter nostalgia, a place where you can taste the original sweet egg tart, the stronghold of the Knights Templar, the Venice of Portugal, a city dedicated to the Queen as a token of love, a place where you can drink sweet but quite strong port wine cheaply, and a bookstore that is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest in the world.
Even though it is a tourist destination, you won't have to worry about being swept away by the crowds like in other European cities, and there are many foods that suit Korean tastes, so Portugal is a pretty good place for people who struggle with food.
The author says that this was the first time he had ever traveled to Europe so unprepared, but it was no problem at all.
He says that just walking around the cities and feeling the sensations is healing.
You will find comfort enough to immerse yourself in that special time through a book.
