Costa
Verde (Green Coast) is a region tucked in the northwest corner of Portugal,
stretching north from Porto to the border with Spain. Although small in
size, this is an area rich in geographic beauty with mountains, rivers,
nature parks as well as history-the castle at Guimarães was the
birthplace of the nation’s founder and first king, Dom Afonso Henriques.
Also here are towns dating back to the Roman times, such as picturesque
Barcelos and Ponte de Lima, which is surrounded by estates of great wealth.
Here too is Portugal’s second largest city, Porto, situated at the mouth
of the Douro. Portuguese explorers set off for new world from the ancient
port city of Porto which gave both the nation and its native drink its
name.

This region
is also defined by the great waterway that segments it, the beautiful and
scenic River Douro. Translated to mean the River of gold as the grapes
that lace its sun drenched hillsides that rise from the river's edge produce
the world-famous Port Wine and vinho verde.
