Порту является вторым по величине городом Португалии после Лиссабона и одним из крупных городских районов Пиренейского полуострова. Население самого города составляет 237 591 человек, а в столичном районе Порту, который выходит за административные пределы города, проживает 1,9 миллиона человек (2011 год) на площади 2 395 км2 (925 кв. Миль), что делает его вторым самый большой городской район в Португалии. Он признан глобальным городом гамма-уровня Исследовательской группой по глобализации и глобальным городам (GaWC), единственным португальским городом, кроме Лиссабона, который был признан глобальным городом.
Расположенный вдоль устья реки Дору на севере Португалии, Порту является одним из старейших европейских центров, и его историческое ядро было объявлено ЮНЕСКО объектом Всемирного наследия в 1996 году. Западная часть его городской территории простирается до береговой линии Атлантического океана. Его поселение датируется много веков, когда он был форпостом Римской империи. Его объединенное кельтско-латинское имя, Portus Cale, было названо происхождением названия «Португалия», основанного на транслитерации и устной эволюции от латыни. На португальском языке название города пишется с определенной статьей о Порту ; следовательно, его английское название произошло от неправильного толкования устного произношения и упоминается как Опорто в современной литературе и многими ораторами.

Quietly nestled in the heart of the Douro Valley, Pinhao (Pinhão) enchants with its vineyards stretching across terraced hillsides above the winding river. This small Portuguese town, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, is one of the main winemaking centers of the region and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many river cruises begin here, and a ride on the scenic Linha do Douro railway is a real treat for lovers of nature and history.
Pinhao is known for its cozy and authentic atmosphere: the old train station decorated with azulejos — traditional Portuguese tiles — tells stories of wine harvests and river life. Visitors can stay at local wine estates (quintas), taste port wine straight from the source, and enjoy sunsets reflected in the river's waters. It’s the perfect place for those seeking a relaxed retreat surrounded by unique cultural and natural richness.
Vega de Terron is a small but strategically important river port in western Spain, located on the border with Portugal in the province of Salamanca. It marks the final stop for cruises along the Douro River coming from Portugal into Spain. Surrounded by scenic hills and vineyards of the Castile and León region, the port serves as a gateway into the Spanish countryside, where traditional rhythms of life and rural charm still prevail.
From here, travelers often begin excursions to the famous city of Salamanca — one of the oldest university towns in Europe, just 90 kilometers away. Vega de Terrón is also popular among wine lovers, as it lies near the renowned Ribera del Duero wine region. This place offers an ideal introduction to Spanish history, architecture, and gastronomy after a cruise through the green valleys of northern Portugal. Though small, the port plays a key role in the cultural route between the two countries.

Among the vineyards and hills in northeastern Portugal, right at the border with Spain, lies Barca d'Alva — a small village with a big soul. This is where the Douro River meets the Spanish Salamanca, and the stunning landscapes form the perfect setting for the beginning of an unforgettable cruise. The railway station, built in the 19th century, once connected Lisbon and Madrid, and still stands as a symbol of the village’s former role as a transport hub.
Today, Barca d'Alva is a haven for those seeking peace, nature, and wine. Visitors come to admire the terraced vineyards, taste the local port wine, and walk along the old railway line. Nearby, one can spot eagles and storks nesting, while the air is filled with the scent of rosemary and laurel. It’s an ideal stop on the road to the real Portugal — unhurried, welcoming, and authentic.
A peaceful retreat imbued with spiritual meaning awaits in Senhora dos Aflitos — a place that for centuries has drawn pilgrims and travelers in search of inner peace. Nestled among green hills, this sanctuary is not only a religious site but also a viewpoint offering breathtaking scenery. The atmosphere is particularly serene here: the soft toll of bells blends with the rustling leaves, creating a sense of harmony.
Senhora dos Aflitos is known for its chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to whom people turn in times of sorrow and trials. Locals often come with candles and prayers, while tourists seek authenticity and natural beauty. In spring, the area is especially charming: blooming trees, fresh air, and a sense of blessed calm make this place a perfect stop while traveling through central Portugal.
