A wonderful train trip

by portgrl - last update: Feb 26, 2005

Very well located at the confluence of the Douro and Pinhão rivers, 22 km upstream from Peso da Régua, the small town of Pinhão is the epicentre of the Port winemaking area, and a place where the soil and climatic conditions are considered to be at their very best.
Although a sleepy town for most of the year, Pinhão bursts into life in autumn during the annual grape harvest, attracting pickers from all over the country.
Unfortunatly this was a cloudy day, but we can always see the beauty os the landescape..
