Itinerary highlights
From Porto's colorful waterfront to Barca d'Alva's quiet hills, the Douro draws you in with sun-drenched vineyards, golden light, and layers of flavor. One day you're pedaling through terraced valleys, the next you're sampling petiscos in a village bar or riding the Atlantic's waves. Along the way sip wine where it's made, indulge in gastronomical delights along the banks of the river, or simply linger in the shade of olive trees. Portugal welcomes—with open arms and open skies—and the Douro invites you to stay a little longer.
Your journey, ashore & afloat.
Fourteen days. Open any day for the full narrative and that day's highlights.
