The Douro may be one of Europe's best-kept secrets but the food that is grown and eaten along its banks is not. The Portuguese are renowned for their love of good food - the flavours are fresh and wholesome (and locally grown) - so expect sweet treats, flavourful dishes and, of course, plenty of port wine. We'll visit the Roman city of Porto, the home of Port wine, and sample Portuguese wine in historic quintas. Taste the delicious almond products that Castelo Rodrigo is famous for while following in the footsteps of St. Francis and hop over the border to Salamanca for a delicious tapas lunch as we explore one of Spain's oldest cities. And that's just the onshore adventures - Portugal’s once-wild river Douro may have been tamed by locks but there's still an untouched wildness to the valley’s breathtaking rolling hills.
This holiday combines our popular Douro, Porto and Salamanca river cruise with a mouthwatering adventure through the culinary landscape of this stunning region.
