Suzanne Plaar: a weekend away in Portugal

Last weekend my family and I stayed with some friends in a nice cottage in Tarouca, near Peso da Regua, in Portugal. That is located in the Alto Douro region, which I learnt is included in UNESCO's world heritage list. I was really impressed by the beauty of a landscape where viniculture is the predominant element. 

Many years ago I worked for a wine import company, which is when I became interested in wine and viniculture. In Regua we also visited the Douro Museum, where you can see how hard the work of the wine growers was until only a few decades ago. I would have liked to show you all an entertaining video, but regrettably there was none on Youtube. However, I believe that the text on this UNESCO link is quite interesting, even though a bit long:

Thanks a lot Suzanne, very interesting indeed! You know, I've been, like you unsuccessfully, searching high and low for a related video, but at least I managed to find this photo gallery of the Portuguese region, which I hope suits your entry just fine.
