2. One of the most charming towns in Northern Portugal is that of Amarante, a settlement characterised by its impressive bridge and architecture that is typical of the European region. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Serra do Marão mountain range and a plethora of gorgeous vineyards which produce vinho verde (a green wine that Portugal is known for).

   40 min

3. Provesende is situated close to the river Douro, between Pinhão and Sabrosa It is a really charming Douro village perched high on the hills above the Douro river with spectacular views down the Pinhão valley. Provesende has a beautiful church in the central square, an ancient pillory and fountain and a wonderfully old-fashioned bakery which the owner is delighted to show you round. There are also a couple of cafés and a restaurant with very good local food. Provesende is our spot for Lunch.

   2 h

4. The Douro River and the Douro Valley are known primarily for Port, a sweet wine that has been produced here for two thousand years, along with less well-known red and white table wines. The Alto (upper) Douro, also known as the Douro Vinhateiro is dominated by big placards on the hillsides bearing the names of famous Port producers such as Cockburns, Taylors and Sandeman. The spectacular landscape is characterised by improbably steep terraces covered in vines and dotted with wine-producing farms called quintas. Here we will learn about Porto wine history doing a visit and a Porto wine tasting in a Quinta. A river boat cruise (one hour - shared) is also included in our trip.

About Oporto

Oporto baja por empinadas colinas hasta el Duero: ciudad de granito, iglesias de azulejos, bodegas junto al río y vino de Oporto al otro lado.

El barrio de la Ribeira bordea la orilla con casas de colores, cafés y barcos, parte de un casco antiguo declarado por la UNESCO bajo los arcos de hierro del puente Dom Luís I. Encima, el vestíbulo de la estación de São Bento está cubierto de azulejos azules y blancos, la Torre de los Clérigos se alza sobre los tejados y la catedral, la Sé, se levanta en su colina.

Top-ranked sights in Oporto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
