O melhor lugar para ver o Douro: Miradouro de Vargellas

O Douro visto do miradouro de VargellasEste é provavelmente o sítio mais bonito para contemplar o Douro. Localizado no cima da Quinta de Vargellas, este lugar faz-me sentir pequeno, muito pequeno. Estive lá este fim-de-semana com o meu amigo André do Adegga. E o Miradouro de Vargellas voltou a surpreender-me. Encontro sempre alguma coisa nova, algo do qual nunca me tinha apercebido.

Quero voltar e ver o Douro dali. Na verdade, se pudesse, era ali que construía a minha casa!

    Thanks again for a great weekend. I returned completely in love with the Douro and its wine making history. I must return soon!

    Next time I will show you my favourite place, it is on the other side, some kilometres down the river, so we won’t have any argument.

    I look forward to see Thomas back to the Douro. From your description, it seems that your favorite place is the “wild-grown” Quinta da Alegria. Am I wrong?

  • Incredible pictures!!

    I wish I’d live there too!

    Wrrrrongggg, too close!
    It is near Castedo, there is a chappel on a hill, Sta. Marinha, formerly a miradouro, but trees grew fast. From there you go straight through the wood towards the Douro.
    Differnet than Vargellas, of course, but more dramatic.

  • Hi Oscar, just discovered your blog (and Quevedo). Wonderful picture from Vargellas! Please tell me where in Holland (Amsterdam) Quevedo is available? Kind regards, Eus Wüst.
