Douro Hoodies

Looking across the Douro River in the city of Porto in Portugal. Here we are next to the Dom Louis I Bridge which links the main city on the north bank with Villa Nova de Gaia on the south. On the far bank are found the warehouses and offices of world-famous port wine companies - well worth a visit! The Douro itself rises in Spain and after flowing into the north of Portugal joins the Atlantic Ocean at Porto.

This fine, two-tiered metal structure dates from 1886 although it was not fully completed until a year later when the lower deck was constructed. It was designed by Theophile Seyrig,a student of Gustav Eiffel. It connects Porto with Villa Nove de Gaia on the southern bank. The Douro itself starts its life in Spain, flowing into Portugal to meet the Atlantic Ocean here at Porto.

This is Porto, or Oporto in Portugal, a beautiful city with a great history and it is also the home of Port Wine. The boats in the foreground are called Rabelos and they were traditionally used to transport barrels of Port wine from the Vineyards further up the River Douro, down to the wine caves and lodges in Porto where it matures and becomes vintage port. Nowadays the boats are mainly used for boat trips up and down the river. The bridge in the background is very famous, it is a double decker metal arch bridge andit is called Dom Luis 1 Bridge.
