Editorial Dear Reader

Casas da Lapa is a 5-star hotel located within a village in Serra da Estrela, it is a distinctive and high-quality project in the heart of the highest mountain in Portugal.

In this edition we innovated once again and created an interactive edition with links and videos, which brings the reader closer to the hotel, and gives them the possibility of finding out more about it through video, which provides an immersive reading experience.

The ABSOLUTE ESCAPE project has more than 16 million views worldwide, and more than 9000 visitors/month on the new TRAVELOSOPHY portal.

I maintain a firm commitment to showing the best that Portugal has to offer in each magazine.

This project highlights and perpetuates the true legacy and heritage of our Portugal, which I always try to show our readers.

Until our next adventure. and thanks for making ABSOLUTE ESCAPE an increasingly global project.
