Barca d'Alva is much more than a quiet village on the Spanish border: it is History, Translation and Culture. Its prosperous development felt with the railway line that connected it to Spain was stopped when the last train passed through there. Nowadays, only the many cruises that pass through there return animation and life to this small cluster, which surprises by the richness and spectacularity of its landscapes.
The extension of the Douro River in Portuguese territory covers about 213 km and, therefore, it is not easy to get to know it in a single day. But we combined a sublime train journey along the Douro Line to a beautiful cruise and we managed to provide an incredible experience in the Douro region.
Get ready to experience the best of the Douro, to be dazzled by imposing landscapes and to discover one of the most beautiful rivers in the world!
