Overview

AlmaDouro was born from a love for the river and the city. For us, luxury is simple: warmth, authenticity, and true care in the details. Join a cozy small-group Douro cruise (max 7) from Douro Marina, near the fishing village of Afurada. Over ~2 hours, discover Porto from the river as we sail beneath its iconic bridges and along the historic waterfronts of Ribeira and Villa Nova de Gaia. On board, enjoy an informal tasting of 4 quality Port wines from small Douro producers, curated with Blend.pt, served with tiny pairings to highlight each glass (not a meal). Music, Wi-Fi, restroom and warm blankets on cooler days included. No crowds, no microphones — just a relaxed atmosphere, conversation, and Porto’s beauty, the AlmaDouro way.

    Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar (pass by)

    The Serra do Pilar Monastery is an austere 17th century church. It has been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1996. The Church, classified as a National Monument, stands out for its circular plan, covered by an imposing hemispherical vault, surrounded by a balcony and crowned by a lantern. Inside, the gilded and white carved work stands out. It preserves a beautiful cloister, also classified as a National Monument, with a circular vault with a central rib supported by 36 Ionic columns. This Mannerist monastery is a unique example in Portugal, as the church and cloister are circular in plan, a model originating from civil architecture. Its geographical location was crucial in 1809, during the invasions by Napoleonic troops and in 1832-33 as a military base during the liberal struggles. Elevated to the category of fortress, it has since been converted into military barracks
