Oporto is the gateway to the majestic Douro Valley, famous for its steep sided gorges and ancient vineyards, and this itinerary starts and finishes in Portugal’s unspoiled second city. Spend two nights in the fascinating, historic city itself and enjoy a tasting at Taylor’s Port House, before boarding your vessel for a cruise upriver. You will enjoy port and wine tasting at some of the region’s historic wineries, enjoy spectacular scenery, and cross the border into Spain where there will be a visit to the mediaeval university city of Salamanca, famous for its golden sandstone architecture.
