More of our exploration of the Douro Valley now, with more incredible views around every bend in the road.
What can make a stunning view even better?
Swings obviously….. and we find a few today. First up is Miradouro Águas do Tua with its impressive view of the river.
Then it’s onwards to the Miradouro da Paixão with its heart shaped swing and wide ranging views.
Located in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Passion in Arnal, this structure in corten steel and wood, created by sculptor Paulo Moura, represents a stylized heart.
Reflecting the Passion of Christ and the patron saint to whom the sanctuary is dedicated.
Hearts are a popular sculptural choice it seems, with another viewpoint at Coração do Douro – meaning The Heart of the Duuro.
