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.

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 Porto

Porto stort zich over steile heuvels naar de Douro, een granieten stad van betegelde kerken, wijnkelders aan de rivier en port die aan de overkant rijpt.

De wijk Ribeira omzoomt de oever met kleurrijke huizen, cafés en boten, onderdeel van een door UNESCO erkend oud centrum onder de ijzeren bogen van de Dom Luís I-brug. Daarboven is de hal van het station São Bento bedekt met blauw-witte azulejo-tegels, rijst de Torre dos Clérigos boven de daken uit en staat de kathedraal Sé op haar heuvel.

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