      Camino Torres to Beira Valenta

      8. toukokuuta, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

      On this day, our plans did not quite go as forecast. We had planned for Connie to cab ahead to Moimenta because of her shin splints, and then she would walk the last 4 km with us (or not, depending on how her leg felt) to where we were staying in an Albergue. Moimenta is a big town so we would be able to have a nice meal there before we headed on to the small village where we were going to spend the night.

      We left the albergue at the nautical sports center in Vila do Ponte at about 8 AM and walked across the bridge to the same bar where we had had lunch the day before. We had coffee and a small breakfast there, really just a piece of sweet bread. Then Connie called a cab and Roel and I walked 16 km to meet her. This was the first day that was really sunny and warm on this camino . I noticed that I was sweating quite a bit and we didn’t come across any opportunity for food or rest, but we thought we would eat when we met Connie in Moimento.

      When we arrived in Moimenta & met Connie, I felt an overwhelming need to sit down and rest so we hurriedly went to a pizza restaurant and ordered some food. Then I needed to lay down, which was not convenient because there was only a cold floor in a small restaurant . But without an option, I was soon on the floor with my feet elevated and feeling better, joking about how I would like to have my food on the floor with me so that I could actually eat.

      The only other people in the restaurant were a table of 4 people, including a woman who spoke English and another woman who was a student nurse. So soon I had 2 worried people by me, insisting on calling the EMT & evaluating me. Long story short, an ambulance arrived and said my blood pressure was very low but everything else was good. 70/50 is kind of low I admit, but I think the problem was that I needed some electrolytes, and some rest & some FOOD, which I was not allowed to have until after a doctor saw me, LOL. Anyway, an enlightening experience with the Portuguese medical system, it only cost me €51 and a couple of hours. Needless to say, we all took a taxi on our final 4 km to the albergue.

      Our taxi driver was great: he refused to just drop us off, he made sure the albergue was open and even checked to make sure the hot water worked! Have I mentioned how great the Portuguese people have been?      Lue lisää

      Kampf mit den Kaktusfeigen Stacheln 🙈

      25. lokakuuta 2022, Portugali ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Wir freuten uns sehr, das gegen Mittag die Sonne raus kam und wir genossen jeden einzelnen Sonnenstrahl. ☀️

      Später gingen wir in den Weinbergen spazieren, probierten Weintrauben, fanden Kaktusfeigen und bewunderten die zahlreichen Olivenbäume. 🍇🫒

      Wunderschön wie die bereits umgefärbten Blätter in der Sonne strahlen. 😍🍁🍂

      Wieder beim Bus mussten wir uns erst mal die vielen Stacheln aus den Fingern von den Kaktusfeigen rausziehen. 🙈

      Und zu unserer Freude ist die Lichtmaschine angekommen und am Freitag wird sie eingebaut. 😊👍      Lue lisää

      Douro Valley

      1. huhtikuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      We woke up to a cloudy, overcast day for our journey east, up the Douro Valley. Amongst low cloud, the first stop was Amarante, where the local market was in full swing.

      We followed the river, with it's steep banks lined with terraced vineyards, and stopped in Pinháo for lunch. There were 2 river cruise boats in dock, but they must have been out wine tasting, as the small town was very quiet.

      Rui made some calls to fit us in for a tasting at a winery that made table wines as well as port (many only make port) and we visited Quinta do Bomfim for a very relaxing afternoon of tasting on their wisteria covered pergola overlooking the Douro River.

      Accommodation tonight is in Peso da Régua where we had dinner at a non-touristy restaurant (ie not on the waterfront). The staff spoke no English (the same amount as our Portuguese), so we had much laughter communicating our order. The staff always bring out olives and bread at the start of the meal - they are not complimentary, but added to the bill unless you send them back - and tonight we also received a mystery bowl... of chicken gizzards. And they were quite tasty!      Lue lisää

      Pochino

      20. huhtikuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Peso is where we split from the n2 and I start to head east ( and Helen will head west to Porto and home). The Douro valley is a "must see" destination with terraced vineyards cascading down ( unfortunately ) steep hillsides. The Douro cuts deeply through mountains and drains a large part of the NE plains of Spain.the complex geography means a lot of steep ups and downs: not ideal bike touring country. So i've done todays 100k/2000m unlaiden and got the amazing "bucket list " train ride back to the start. Ride with gps came up with some outrageous route choices, including an extensive precipitous cobbled section- and a tarmac section that ( I think) will be the steepest road I've riden down. Good news though- from the last hill I could see Spain!!! Saturdays job.Lue lisää

      Peso da Regua

      19. huhtikuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Viseu was marvellous but is surrounded by hills. Geographically we reached a the high point today- possibly for the whole trip? otherwise the high point was an interrupted 30km/ 800m descent to Peso. Here we join the Douro valley and will spend a couple of days exploring the area- lots of vineyards 🍷🤪. The descent took us through Lamego and a great Tapas bar halfway up the outrageous baroque staircase up to the Igreja.Lue lisää

      Douro again!

      1. marraskuuta 2022, Portugali ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      The plan originally was to head to Porto today, but someone at breakfast raved about a place they had stayed, in a working vineyard no less. That was enough for me to change plans. I just love this part of Portugal. So we lolly-gagged around the valley, up and down from the river level to high lookout points, and had a picnic lunch at one of them. On the way, I saw several arrows, reminding me that I had walked through these parts a little more than a month ago.

      By about 3:30, we were checked in to the Casal dos Capelinhos. Joe was starting his nap, and I was walking up and down, back and forth (some rows are parallel to the river, some are perpendicular) from one row of grapes to another. The sun dropped slowly behind the hill in front of us, and it was so peaceful. The time flew by.

      We will eat here tonight, and tomorrow we will definitely go to Porto!      Lue lisää

      Auf ins Douro Tal 🍇

      24. lokakuuta 2022, Portugali ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Nachdem wir Frischwasser tankten, eingekauft haben etc. machten wir uns auf eine 2-stündige Fahrt ins Douro Tal. 😊 Als wir vor 4 Jahren in Portugal waren, wollten wir diese Gegend schon erkunden, da hatten wir aber zu wenig Zeit, deshalb freuen wir uns schon sehr dies diesmal nach zu holen. 🥰

      Die Fahrt war sehr schön, am Schluss fuhren wir den Fluss Douro entlang, über all um uns Weinhänge.🍇

      Unser Stellplatz für die Nacht war wieder ein kostenloser Stellplatz mit Strom und toller Aussicht. 🔋😍
      Dort angekommen quatschten wir sehr lange mit unseren Stellplatznachbarn, das war sehr inspirierend für uns. Zufällig haben wir die zwei vor ein paar Tagen schon mal getroffen. 😅 Ganz liebe Menschen, die beide ihre Pension genießen und die Welt erkunden. 😊      Lue lisää

      Weinverkostung 🍷

      26. lokakuuta 2022, Portugali ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Gegen Mittag ging die Entdeckungstour los, wir fuhren von Peso da Regua nach Pinhao am Douro Fluss entlang. Unser erstes Ziel war ein Aussichtspunkt mit Blick auf den Douro und den Weinhängen. (Double viewpoint De Loivos)

      Der Ausblick war sehr schön und wir genossen dabei die Sonne. ☀️

      Bei Google Maps fanden wir einen Aussichtspunkt mit einer Schaukel und machten uns auf den Weg dorthin. Der Weg wurde immer schmaler und eng und am Schluss standen wir vor einem Privatgrundstück. 🤭😆
      Wir drehten um und parkten auf der Seite. Wir gingen nicht auf das Privatgrundstück, aber der Ort hier war wunderschön mit Ausblick auf den Douro. Wir spazierten ein wenig in die Weinberge und ließen die Drohne fliegen.

      Auf den Weg zum Stellplatz für die Nacht fuhren wir durch malerische Täler Umgeben von Weinhängen, wo die Blätter langsam umfärben.🍁

      In einen kleinen Ort hielten wir bei einen Wein Store an. Vor 4 Jahren kauften wir in Portugal einen Portwein, aber der schmeckte uns gar nicht deshalb ließen wir uns diesmal beraten.
      Das Geschäft sah so was von Nobel aus wir dachten, da zahlen wir jetzt Unmengen aber dem war nicht so. Die Verkäuferin war super nett und ging auf unseren Wunsch nach einem süßlichen Wein bestens ein. 🍇 Wir durften probieren und nahmen einen weißen Portwein und ein roten Moscatel Wein mit. 🍷

      Weiter ging es über schmale Straßen zum Schlafplatz, der auch bei einem Aussichtspunkt war. Tino wurde von einen älteren Portugiesen angequatscht, anfangs wussten wir nicht ganz, was er von uns will, aber mit Google Übersetzer und viel Vorstellungskraft konnten wir uns irgendwie verständigen. Bei dem Aussichtspunkt steht eine kleine Kirche, die er betreut dadurch trifft er oft auf Menschen aus der ganzen Welt und sammelt deren Telefonnummern. 📞
      Er war ein sehr netter, freundlicher Mann und zeigte uns dir Kirche, wo er ganz stolz war. 😊
      Außerdem war dir Aussicht sehr schön von dort oben. 🙂 (Viewpoint of São Leonardo de Galafura)

      Am Abend, als es finster war hörten wir, sogar Wölfe heulen. 🙈      Lue lisää

      Douro Valley

      20. syyskuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Strolled up past the music theater and off to metro to get car from the sorority after a few Car hire issues to start but eventually got away and drove up the Douro Valley. Once you get to the river the steep winery terraces everywhere are impressive with the river backdrop.
      Quiet day - Portuguese tripe and bean lunch, seeing Pinhoa, a quick stop at a winery.
      Out for dinner tonight.

      Day 2
      Rose early and relaxed with a great Breakfast provided by the hotel.
      Then off to Vila Real where we went to Casa Mateus. Walk through the gardens and a bit of a history tour. Then looked around the old town and a couple of churches.
      Back to Lamego an old town on the other side. Famous castle and cathedral but only the cathedral was open. Great Vista and enjoyed the self appointed challenge of climbing the 600+ steps 2 at a time.
      Drove the back roads all day which was great for seeing the countryside.
      Dinner out pizza and salad.      Lue lisää

      Douro Valley

      15. toukokuuta 2022, Portugali ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      This is the spectacularly beautiful heart of the wine industry located up river from Porto. The scenery is so extraordinary that the 1st 6 pictures all show it. They are taken from various perspectives: from the deck of a traditional river boat to high on the hillsides on both sides of the river. The views are considered to be some of the best in the world.
      The 7th picture is of Pinhão, often thought of as the center of the district. This was taken from the traditional boat.
      The last 3 pictures were taken at Quinta do Seixo. A quinta is a farm or vineyard where, in this case, the grapes for local wine and port are grown. Both table wine and port are produced. And there is a small olive oil industry, too, using olives from the trees separating quintas.
      I'm told that many of the producers here still crush the grapes in the traditional way, by foot. At Quinta do Seixo, crushing is done robotically in the vats in the 8th picture. The mechanism is visible at the rear of the picture. The 9th picture is some port aging in oak barrels in their cellar. The last picture is the Sandeman logo. I'm told that the silhouette is intended to reflect both Spanish and Portuguese tradition as the business began with sherry in Spain and expanded to port.      Lue lisää
