They announce the end of the Winter and transform the scenery into a colourful poem. Over 100 thousand almond trees form a white and pink mantle over the cliffy International Douro landscape. A unique and special story that only happens in this exact time of the year. This journey is a conversation with the five senses. It's the colors, the textures, the smells, the flavors... it's the silence.
With a history filled with sentiment and tradition, Porto is the perfect gate way to start this journey. Through its narrow and sinuous streets, we feel the warmth of its people. With the Douro at its feet, Porto is unique and authentic in its intimate expression of welcoming its visitors with open arms - and preferably with a glass of Port in the hand. ● Arrival at Porto International Airport: Pick up and transfer to the Hotel ● Accommodation in the Historical City Center ● Free time ● Dinner Read more
We head to the heart of the Douro Wine region, the oldest Demarcated Wine Region in the World, with its magnificent terraced vineyards sculpted by the hand of man. Declared by UNESCO as World Human Heritage, the Douro is a land of history and centuries of inheritances that ensure the authenticity of its natural, cultural and architectural patrimony. Here, we will taste the flavors of the traditional gastronomy and get hands on learning to make a typical sweet of the region, whose convent recipe dates back to ancient times. We will get closer to the vineyards, learn about the estates and their stories and taste the most famous nectar of the territory - the Port Wine. The day wouldn't be complete without a cruise in the river said to be of gold (Douro), from where we can observe and entirely feel the overwhelming beauty of the landscape. ● Departure to the Douro Wine region ● Visit to Vila Real with experience - Typical Monastic Sweets: Cristas de Galo ● Lunch ● Visit to an Estate and Wine tasting ● Douro River Cruise ● Accommodation in Régua ● Dinner Read more
Near the border, the Pocinho Train Station is the last stop of the centenary Douro Line, considered the most beautiful railway of the country. Travelling by train is always an unhurried whole pleasure, an invitation to contemplate. Behind us, the still green vines with the grapes starting to bloom and nature bidding farewell to a harsh winter. We arrive at Douro International where we will show you that the Douro is not only about wines. We will travel the road that crosses the mountains covered in blossoming almond trees, up to Torre de Moncorvo. It's a unique, memorable, purifying experience. Later, there will be time to not only taste the region's famous sugar glazed almonds, but also to learn how to make them and listen to their story, told by those who know all their secrets. Beside is Vila Nova de Foz Côa, which became world famous for the findings of the rock carvings, in the Côa River valley - one of the largest archaeological prehistoric art centers in Europe. We suggest to visit the rock carvings at night, as then we have the ideal light to appreciate the beauty of this Palaeolithic art, classified as World Human Heritage. Still time to travel through time in the historical village of Castelo Rodrigo. Located on the top of a hill with premium views over the Côa Valley, this medieval village hides amazing treasures amongst ruins and walls from other ages. ● Train Régua-Pocinho ● The Road of the Blossoming Almond Trees ● Lunch ● Torre de Moncorvo - Experience/Workshop of Sugar Glazed Almonds ● Visit to the Côa Museum ● Night visit to the Rock Carvings ● Dinner ● Accommodation Read more
Today, we will cross the border and discover Salamanca. One of the most incredible cities of Spain with its impeccably preserved historical center and teeming with life. Salamanca is history and architecture, culture and gastronomy, charm and tradition. A full day, strolling the medieval streets, tasting its flavors, discovering its vast and rich patrimony. ● Visit to Salamanca ● Lunch ● Return to Castelo Rodrigo ● Dinner Read more
It’s time to return to Porto, where the Douro River also ends its course, in a tranquil gathering with the Atlantic Ocean. On the way back, one last chance to enjoy the intense and inspiring landscape of the Douro, in all its grandeur, in all its splendor. ● Transfer back to Porto ● Lunch
