Where to Visit in Portugal?

The Douro Valley
Literally meaning the “Golden Valley” the name is born from local folklore. Legends say that little bright rocks, resembling gold, could be found in the river that cuts the valley, reflecting a golden hue across the surface water. Born in Spain, the Douro River winds across Northern Portugal, and courses right through the city of Porto before joining the Atlantic, carving a magnificent Valley with surrounding green hills, which are now the vineyards where the sweet Port wine is produced.
