ABOUT THE DOURO
A symbol of Portugal’s birth and growth as a nation, the Douro has long been the country’s lifeline. Leaving the pastel-coloured metropolis of Porto, venture through the enchanting countryside.
Following the winding Douro river east from Porto reveals one of the most scenic drives in Europe and Portugal’s premier wine region, the Douro Valley. With terraces of vines lining the riverbanks, Douro Valley holidays offer stunning hiking trails, beautiful viewpoints and a wonderful selection of peaceful retreats.
In the Douro, you will find quiet towns and villages, vineyards hugging the bends, castles from the time of the Reconquest and other places worthy of a stop to look far into the horizon.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren will have a wonderful time staying in Villa Lalio and the Douro region. The villa’s pool is amazing, and has shallow steps into it. They may not want to get out! The villa is very spacious and perfect for them.
The Douro region offers many family-friendly activities. You can arrange canoeing, kayaking and paddle-boarding on the Douro river which they will love. Why not take a picnic for a lovely day out and include a trip on the river? Also thoroughly enjoyable would be a scenic train trip along the river or into Porto. One of the most beautiful train trips in the area is the one hour chug upriver from Pinhao to Pocinho. It goes five times daily.
If you do travel into Porto children will love the beach at Matosinhos, surf lessons, the interactive museum The World of Discoveries and running and playing in the Crystal Palace Gardens. As you enter, you will see a central fountain and on the sides four statues that symbolize the four seasons – a great way to teach children the differences between the seasons.
Whilst they might not appreciate the wine tastings, they will absolutely love crushing grapes with their feet in harvest time. Many of the vineyards offer interesting tours, and they are great places for picnics.
Children will also love a day out to Vale do Coa Archaeological Park which is an open-air rock art gallery and World Heritage Site. It is stunning and a great place for children to learn and also run about. It is best to book though as it is very popular.
