Description

The Douro Valley was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, in recognition of its cultural significance and the unique landscape shaped by centuries of viticulture. The Douro Valley is the birthplace of Port wine, a fortified wine that has been produced in the region for over 300 years. Port wine is renowned for its rich flavors and high alcohol content. Established in 1756, the Douro Valley is considered the world's oldest demarcated wine region. The Marquis of Pombal created the demarcation to regulate the production and trade of Port wine. The Douro River, which flows through the valley, has played a crucial role in the region's wine industry. Historically, the river was used to transport wine barrels downstream to the city of Porto, where the wine was exported to international markets. According to local legend, a beautiful Moorish princess named Alva lived in the area. When she fell in love with a Christian knight, they attempted to flee but were caught by her father's soldiers. To escape, the lovers threw themselves into the river and drowned, giving the town of Barca d'Alva its name. 6000 x 6000 Px 300 dpi By Samanta, 2023
