International Douro

The Douro Internacional is an unforgettable destination, shared by Portugal and Spain: its stunning cliffs will reveal to you a rugged and vibrant Douro, full of biodiversity. We will walk along remote paths in both Portugal and Spain, starting from Castelo Rodrigo. The itinerary includes a visit to Freixo de Espada à Cinta and, crossing the border, Fermoselle and Zamora, small Spanish gems full of culture and traditions. Back in Portugal, we visit Miranda do Douro, a land of legends and the Mirandese language, passing through Picote and the spectacular Miradouro da Fraga do Puio. A journey that will enchant you!
