In 1979, José Saramago drove across Portugal — from Trás-os-Montes to the Algarve — and turned the journey into Viagem a Portugal (1981), part travelogue, part love letter to the country. This project lets you follow in his footsteps.
Live at mrfyda.github.io/viagem-a-portugal — the blog, with the interactive map at /map.
An interactive map of every place Saramago mentions in the book — hundreds of towns, villages, and sights, each with the book pages where it appears, plus the routes he drove between them.
- Explore the journey: hover any town to see where it shows up in the book.
- Track your own travels: click towns you have visited, record the date of each visit, and watch your progress — not just how many towns, but how many pages of the book you have traveled.
Travel notes from retracing the route, at the site root — with the map at /map.
