30. Our Region
Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro is a
mountainous region with concave
valleys and not very high plateaus,
included in the Douro River
watershed. In this region the main
activities are agriculture, ( olives,
almond, grapes ) rearing cattle and
local tourism.

31. The Douro river majestuously
meanders its waters around the huge
granitical hills, flowing from its
source in Spain near Las Arribas del
Duero, across northern central Spain
and Portugal to its outlet at Porto.
Its total length is 897km, of which
only sections of the Portuguese
reaches of the river are navigable.

32. In the north part of the
country, the Douro is
undoubtedly unique,
offering us a scenery of
surpassing natural beauty, a
real “excess of Nature”.

33. So beautiful is this region that a particular view of a bend
in the Douro River from a hilltop above is considered a
breathtaking sight. Endless miles of terraced vineyards in
what was actually the world´s first officially demarcated
wine growing region.

34. Growing olive trees and
olive oil production .

35. The scenery of the Douro
Valley is spectacular with the
variations of colour in
accordance with the seasons,
and it is particularly beautiful
in autumn when the vines take
a reddish and golden colour.
As well as the famous Port
Wine, regular red and white
wines are produced on the
valley. They are a good
accompaniment to the local
cuisine.

36. Almond is widely planted in
Trás-os- Montes. Almond trees
are frequently grown side by
side with olives and vines.
It is wonderful to visit the
region in the springtime when
almond trees are in full
blossom.

37. Honey production is also an
important activity of the
region.

38. Torre de Moncorvo
In a visit to the village of Torre de
Moncorvo, you can´t miss its
Church classified as National
Heritage and regarded as the largest
religious temple of the province of
Trás-os-Montes.
