Out in the countryside along the peaceful stretches of the Douro river, you’ll find legendary vineyards, romantic castles, and walled villages nestled among the hillsides, along with no end of local eateries and cultural treasures to enjoy along the way.

Traditional Portuguese cuisine is simple and delicious yet flavourful and vibrant and as the country boasts over 500 miles of coastline, it is no surprise that seafood steals the spotlight here. Dinners are a long and leisurely affair and fish tacos and fresh clams go down a treat when paired with a glass of fine Portuguese wine.

Architecture lovers and history buffs alike will adore the forgotten towns and villages of the Douro Valley.
