It is precisely in this sense that Feel Discovery presents you with some of the most instagrammable viewpoints in the Douro region, which will certainly influence your followers to also pay a visit to these idyllic places.
Viewpoint São Leonardo da Galafura.
A “geological poem. Absolute beauty”. This is how the Portuguese writer, Miguel Torga, described the Alto Douro Vinhateiro. Located in Canelas, just 25 minutes from the center of Peso da Régua, the São Leonardo da Galafura viewpoint is one of those places with the most privileged view of this poem that is the Douro Valley.
Being one of the most popular places in the region, it is therefore a mandatory stop to enjoy the panoramic view and take some of the most incredible photos of the region.
