These posts are part of a series of 'Best of' ('O melhor para'), published on the Lonely Planet websites every year as eye-catching readings that take readers and followers to other products of the company. For this empirical research, a specific text was chosen as a sample to be studied, 'Best in Travel 2015: Top 10 cities' together with its translation, 'O melhor para 2015: cidades imperdГveis', taken from Lonely Planet websites in English (2015, January 15) and in Portuguese (2015, January 15).
