Abstract

This article presents a proposal for an itinerary, mapped from the literary work Viagens na Minha Terra by Almeida Garrett (1799-1854), which has the potential to create of a large number of literary places. From the analysis of Garrett’s own itinerary that starts at the Terreiro do Paço, in Lisbon, and ends at Santarém, a literary tourism experience is developed, through the descriptions that the author makes of the places he visits, highlighting literature as a pretext for travelling and, consequently, arousing interest in a visit to the region of Ribatejo.
