Land of Port The scent of dried spices and grasses hangs in the air. You look out onto an intoxicating countryside of towering slopes and wine terraces of different shapes and sizes on which bulging vines stretch out towards the sun. The river makes its way gracefully through what is probably the most spectacular wine-growing region in the world – the home of port. Coming from Spain, the Douro flows from East to West across Portugal, then out into the Atlantic to Porto with its mix of traditional and modern architecture. In the old days, skippers still transported the barrels to the wineries by boat. Proud vineyards adorn the river banks. Along the river, medieval towns captivate with their beauty. In the Spanish city of Salamanca, a ‘living museum’ you can practically touch history in the form of centuries-old buildings. At the end of your cruise, the Portuguese capital of Lisbon awaits; a modern metropolis with historical charm.
