Tips
Along the trail that once served as a route for smugglers, there is a viewpoint that honours its past: the Miradouro do Contrabando. From up here, the view over the vertiginous Douro valley is breathtaking.In the past, many people passed through these winding paths in silence and hope, crossing the border in search of a more dignified life.
