What's this trip about?

    The Douro Valley is one of the ultimate wonders of nature, but it also the takes the efforts and energy of the man to provide this astonishing nature and environmental transformation. Browsing the Douro means enjoying its convents and churches, meeting its rustic crafts, tasting the genuine cuisine, and witnessing folklore Portuguese traditions. The Port Wine is undoubtedly the most remarkable concept, along with the several holidays and wine celebrations, such as the harvest in September, the most important and lively event.
