ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRIP TO PORTO AND NORTH OF PORTUGAL
Port and North
Portugal was born in the north. It was in the Porto and North region that the Portuguese began as a people and nation. Here we learn the value of difference but also the complementarity of cultures.
O Porto , a UNESCO World Heritage city, is the main gateway and can be the starting point for a journey through the natural and cultural diversity of the region. It is known for the wine that goes from here to the whole world, but also for the School of Architecture , from which the names of Álvaro Siza Vieira and Souto de Moura, both Pritzker Awards, came from. And also for a heritage that knows how to combine the antiquity of churches and monuments, such as the see Or the Church of S. Francisco , with the contemporaneity of outstanding buildings such as the House of Music , the Serralves Museum and others.
O Douro River crosses the region. Enter Portugal squeezed between the ravines and mountains of the interior to tour the entire landscape of the World Heritage where the Port and Douro wines . There, the wine crosses until the Caves of Gaia and cruises and tours that visit the region.
in this mountain region and natural parks , the heritage is spread through castles, such as the one in Guimarães , or by shrines and churches that in summer are the stage for pilgrimages. Next to rural hermitages we find the baroque from northern Portugal made of granite and gilt. In cities that knew how to preserve the human scale, such as Viana do Castelo , Braga , Lamego , Keys or Vila Real , or in manor houses and manor houses, we find the most authentic Portuguese, the one who genuinely likes to receive, to share their table and traditions. In Porto and the North of Portugal, joy and gratitude for everything we have and are are naturally experienced.
