Itinerary and highlights
The treasure of the Douro Valley isn't just the port. High in the Douro Valley, the tiny village of Provesende makes the nail-biting journey worth it.
Pinhão is considered to be the geographical center of the Douro demarcated wine region, and it is here that many of the Port wine estates are to be found, some.
This beautiful train station is part of the Douro Line. Despite being a small train station, it is still worth a visit.
