The journey begins in Porto, crossing the banks of the Douro River to the verdant landscapes of Resende, where the morning is sweetened by the famous convent sweets, a legacy of centuries of tradition, preparing the palate for a memorable day. The next stop is Caldas de Aregos, known for its thermal springs and serene riverside scenery, an invitation for a brief pause before continuing on to Lamego. The route continues towards Régua, the heart of the Douro wine region, where the soul of the region is infused. Here, lunch is served at Quinta de Santa Eufémia, a traditional family farm that preserves ancestral winemaking methods. In the afternoon, the journey takes you to Pinhão, an emblematic location for the beauty of its train station and the amphitheater-shaped vineyards that descend to the river. This is the Douro in all its magnificence, where every bend in the river reveals new perspectives. On the return journey, a stop in Amarante once again offers travelers irresistible convent sweets, such as the famous papos de anjo (angel's pea cakes) or brisas do Tâmega (breaths of the Tâmega), reinforcing the connection between gastronomic heritage and cultural identity. Arrival in Porto concludes a journey that combines landscape, history, wine, and sweets, celebrating the Douro as an unforgettable destination.
