Porto to Pinhao

What a glorious ride. Sun beating down all the way and once again some superb twisty roads. 

I hadn't imagined we'd be hundreds of feet above the river, giving us such stunning views. As we moved further up river, the quintas began to populate the landscape, along with terrace upon terrace of vines. They stretched hundreds of feet above and below us. 

Finally, we arrived in Pinhao, a beautiful and very popular village on a bend in the river. We fuelled up.

The main attraction, is the train station, covered in lovely picture tiling.  I'm sure people just travel up to see that.

Next stop, our hotel in Tua, a few miles up stream.
