SMT Douro Stories - Along the Douro river secrets, legends and history

The Douro River can be, in many aspects, be considered like the “blood” running in the veins of Porto. Throughout history it has always been a very essential element and presence in Porto culture, economy, ecology and sociology. Also for many centuries Porto´s main way of communication with the entire north region but also the starting point for longer dangerous trips between Porto and other nations, mostly the main trading centers of the North and the South of Europe.

This Tour is an opportunity to go through Douro right bank of Porto, up to Foz with a different and deeper perspective. Going through different social, ecological but also historical aspects.
