Step on board a  Douro river cruise and look forward to a relaxing get away from it all experience. As you take your first steps on the cruiser you will remind yourself that on this trip; you won’t need to worry about taking your car keys, you won’t need to worry about where to park the car and you won’t need to worry about who is going to do the driving after you have had the joy of sampling the best port and wine this region has to offer.
This Duora river cruise has plenty to offer the discerning traveller. The river Duora stretches for 557 miles. It begins in central Spain and ends in the historic town of Oporto. Along this scenic river can be seen the lush vineyards as their steep terraces rise above the shoreline giving you a warm expectation of the wine tasting opportunities ahead.
As you amble along the deck you can take in the delights of this spectacular river valley which has been awarded the UNESCO world heritage status. You will engage with the views of the dramatic cliffs and marvel at the walled villages of mediaeval times. You will be exhilarated by the verdant hillside stretching on the horizon and appreciate the peaceful terraces of the ancient wine estates.
At various times on this Douro river cruise you will have chances to disembark and discover the joys of the region. You might want to visit the Casa de Mateus Place a living museum and be uplifted by its beautiful Baroque style architecture. You could then have a few quiet moments in the chapel with a time to reflect followed by a stroll through the gardens and the wine cellars.
Another interesting stop on this Douro river cruise would be at Alfama with its maze of cobbled narrow streets and its ancient houses giving it a fairy tale feeling and an anticipation of what will be at the top of the next incline. This area has many of Lisbon’s historic buildings and has a character that will charm and delight you. Having wandered through the maze of alleyways you will find yourself in a plaza with cafes and restaurants where you could have a well-earned rest.
Salanmanca could be another interesting and enjoyable place to visit. Its university being one of the oldest in Europe. A stroll through this town would take you to the gorgeous arcaded Piazza Major; this used to be a bull fighting arena but now is an area with a diversity of shops and restaurants. It is here where you could sample the delicious cheese and cured meats of the area followed by some tasty sponge cakes or almond biscuits. Accompanying these treats of course you could try the hearty red wine and a fruity white wine. Other delicious tastes to try on this trip would be the olives and grapes cultivated in the traditional way or of course the tapas sardines or custard tarts. What joys for a Foodie!
