Barca d’Alva is a charming destination! This small Portuguese village is located on the banks of the Douro River and is known for its stunning landscapes and tranquility.

Hiking

The place was of great importance until 1985, because here was the border station with Spain of the Porto - Salamanca railway line. The Douro is navigable up to this point.

Hiking

A small town in Portugal right on the border with Spain. You can cross the border on foot. This is where the river cruise ships dock on the Duero.
