For progol--your home in the Douro

progol,
I was going through my husband's gazillion Douro photos today and found these of your soon-to-be Douro home. Thought I'd post them to get you even more excited for this trip!

The view from your room!

Your infinity pool

Your terrace


More high Douro views


Breakfast pastries, including "natas"

The quinta's vineyards

Here's an example of "heroic viticulture", the manual harvest here is a backbreaking process. And often it reaches 40 degrees centigrade.

Maribel, please make sure that the Pego stop light works when we arrive in early October. I don't want us to drive us all off a cliff. progol and xyz, please take good notes on your trip. I await your trip reports. Have fun.

Hi maitaitom,
Yes, I must email them about that traffic light at the entrance and make sure it's in proper working order for the gang!
