Vineyards
Porto is known worldwide for its excellent sweet wine. Grapes for wine making come from the Douro region, some beautiful step landscapes by River Douro full of vineyards. Some other wines are produced here – the Douro region wine, also very good.
Vineyards and the harvest are one of the most important events that take place during the year. A whole set of traditions and customs are associated with this ancient “technique” and villages and its people are thrilled about the harvest event. It is their way of living; it is a tradition that is inherited from father to son along the decades and centuries.
Azulejos
Azulejos are traditional Portuguese tiles - they are hand painted tiles and can be found in blue and white shades or coloured, depending on theme, epoch and place.
Pinhão has outstanding azulejo panels on the train station – 24 panels, depicting Douro’s traditions concerning the vineyards and the harvest. You shouldn't miss them.
