Porto, the country´s second largest city,
is in itself full of interest, but the district it heads, though largely
industrialized, offers the visitor plenty to see. |
Vila Nova de Gaia, the lodges where Port wine is blended and aged and where you can taste the different varieties, or you may choose to take a river cruise along the Douro. The whole district is filled with prosperous towns, as commerce and industry thrive there, but you can drive along many calm roads with wonderful views over the river or enjoy a rugged and still unspoilt coastline. |

Golf |
Oporto Golf Club
This course is located 17 kilometers to the south of Oporto beside the
beautiful beaches of Espinho. It is, after Pan, in France, the second
oldest course in Continental Europe. It was established in 1890, when
British residents in Porto created the club. Miramar One of the oldest Portuguese golf courses and one of the most traditional in the country. When the course was inaugurated in 1932, Frank Gordon and Arthur Mariani were jointly responsible for the design, a nine hole course for Par 34 over 2.579 meters. Amarante Located in the estate of Quinta da Deveza and is set on a delightful landscape - with the towns of Amarante and Marco de Canaveses, as well as the mountains of Marão and Aboboreira, in the background. It is a narrow, winding hilly course, calling for great accuracy, particularly at the bunkers protecting the greens and at the lakes that are brought into play at holes number 3, 8, 12 and 17. |
