The Douro Valley

Reviewed By judythr

We stayed at the Quinta Monte Bravo, a bit off the beaten track but lovely and Teresa's dinners were far better than at any restaurant we visited in Portugal except maybe one. The sheer beauty of the terraced vineyards and olive groves plus the beautiful and historic river Douro are just amazing! And, yes, this is a UNESCO World Heritage site, which speaks for itself!

Cabo da Roca

Reviewed By jgoodnow

Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point in Europe and is well worth the trip from wherever you are on the Iberian peninsula. Windy, craggy, magnificent views of of the crashing surf; we could have spent hours here. Sadly, we were on an otherwise fabulous bus tour and only had 40 minutes. Bring lunch and take your time!

Castelo Novo Historical Village

Reviewed By ChrisandMick60 - Montaren-et-Saint-Mediers, France

The day we visited, it was cold, windy and showery but well worth the visit. The castle on top of the hill is the gem. There is parking just below the ruined castle, so it is only a short walk but quite steep. Once at the top the view of the surrounding area is superb even on a grey day. It's a pity that ALL of the notices etc about the history are only in Portuguese.

7. Farol do Arnel

Foz d'Egua

Reviewed By jae1012 - Lisbon, Portugal

Foz d'Egua is the mid-point of a gorgeous hike loop from Piódão. It's about an hour each way, and leave extra time to explore Foz d'Egua. There's a longer hike from Foz d'Egua that is about 5 hours total and maps are available near the pool.
