Today we left the village of Tabuaco, where we had spent two nights in this guesthouse, Casa do Brasao,which was a 17th century manor house, though it has obviously been renovated a few times.

Here we are having our breakfast.

_02A1870 This is the stairwell up to the first floor (in Canada we would call this the second floor). Our room door was at the back right corner.

_02A1895 This is the view along the Cao River valley from Tabuaco. The Cao River flows into the Douro.

Here are some photos that I took of the vineyards near Pinhao on the Douro River.

The first photo shows Pinhao on the Douro in the distant right.

Before we left Pinhao, we stopped at Quinta Carvalhas, which was established in 1765.

_02A1978 Here we did a port wine tasting, and subsequently bought a bottle of 2004 Vintage Port.
