The Douro Valley
Thousands of years spanning the ages of mankind
"It is a wonderful, delightful and special place. In today's world, it is
certainly unique both in its natural and human landscape. Criss-crossing
this landscape are the paths of men. Men from today and men from bygone
times.
The Douro. River. Valley. Mountains. Covered in vineyards. But also
stained by the sumptuous green of olive trees and by the delicate tones
of almond tree flowers. A dazzling scenery of colour and light,
celebrating life. A fascinating and majestic show.
The winding way of the valley, always witnessing the ageless presence of
men. In the purity of life, habits and traditions. A habitat for
thousands of years, caressed by water and accompanied with love by
nature.
We present you with Douro Valley pictures. In its unpretentious might.
In its grandeur permeated by charming silences. Accompanied by the light
and pure air that inebriates the spirit, that strengthens and warms the
soul. The river breathes life into the quite, serene and healthy
lifestyle which men of our time yearn to find. As a haven in eden.
Douro, land of wine. Of Port wine. Timeless home for men. And yet, the
indelible surprise of the power of nature. A sanctuary of prayers. An
image of the "beautiful" in a majestic scenery that holds all colours of
a monumental rainbow.
We are waiting for you. For all of you. Here, in a land called DOURO.
In PORTUGAL."
