Douro - Take a Douro River Cruise to Experience the Best of the "River of Gold"

The Douro River flows from northern-central Spain through Portugal and runs around 560 miles to its outlet at Porto. The wonderful city of Porto is known for its historic centre, graceful bridges, and world-famous port wine houses. The Douro River Valley is a picturesque wine growing region with historic monasteries, castles, and cathedrals. There is no shortage of interesting places to explore; including Salamanca, Spain, where the Douro River ends and you'll take a day excursion to explore the preserved old-world University City.
