RÉGUA TO PORTO
Wake up in the charming town of Régua,
known for its role in the esteemed Douro
Valley wine region. Visit the pilgrimage town
of Lamego or walk in the footstep of Cistercian
Monks before sailing into Porto at sunset.
Discover this sacred pilgrimage town of Lamego
and witness the legacy of the Moors. Visit
the 18th-century baroque wonder of Nossa
Senhora dos Remédios. The small hilltop
chapel is reached via 686 steps up a grand
double staircase, interrupted by nine terraces.
Along the way, you can admire azulejo tiles
and decorative urns. Still today, pilgrims
often conduct the long upward journey on
their knees. You, however, will begin your
exploration at the top of the stairs and can
descend at your leisure.
