In Pinhão, we feel all the energy of the wine culture, a bustling life associated with the Douro Wine Region. From the heights of Casal de Loivos, we see, in perspective, a landscape that’s a result of centuries of human intervention, with endless terraced vineyards and a river where, regularly, tourist boats now sail instead of the “rabelo” boats of the past. As Miguel Torga said in his work Reino Maravilhoso (‘Wonderful Kingdom’): ‘It is not just visiting S. Leonardo da Galafura or the viewpoint at S. Brás, gazing at the kaleidoscope and being amazed. It is to understand the full significance of the tragedy, from the temptation of the scenery to the condemnation of Prometheus, to the outcry of the chorus.’ It is this wonderful kingdom that VIDABOA invites you to discover.
