BREATHTAKING Douro Valley, Portugal, Europe- Don't Make a Mistake and Miss It

Enjoy Pt you will have fun

Douro Valley Wine is nice too!

Great video. Douro region is beautiful. Things are getting trickier to retire in portugal. Glad my wife and I made the jump 5 years ago. Greetings from south central portugal

Beautiful place! I can't believe Alan can even drive a car that new,lol!😊

We visited Regua in the spring and took a boat tour to Pinhao. Both towns were oozing with Portuguese charm. Of the two, Pinhao was smaller, but we liked it even more than Regua. But Regua has that amazing river walk. How to decide??? I guess it's like your dinnertime wine dilemma - you just can't go wrong no matter what. Enjoy!

Boa Tarde, great video are you guys thinking moving to the mainland

Hi Alan, Leslie and Wolf.
Another nicely edited and narrated video. Wolf has mastered the drone. I always been interested in visiting Douro Valley and this video just cemented my desire to visit.
All the best.

The area is stunning. 115 degrees is too hot! Maybe you can head up north by the coast?

I continue to look for the spot that will make us want to stay forever. However, I have in mind buying which I think might be too restrictive since the commitment will be forever. Since you found your place in Madeira you’re home already. You can travel the country but always go home to Madeira. Your son… well, he’s very young and who knows what life will bring and where he’d want to settle.

There are many beautiful locations in Portugal. Me and my wife live in Madrid and we've been visiting Portugal since we first met in 2007. We have just come back from a week's holiday in the Alentejo Alto region. All regions have their charms, although some are very touristic, such as in the Algarve. The inland regions are less touristic and, in our opinion, better places to experience the relaxed way of life that Portugal offers. Obviously, this asumes a person has the financial security or income to fund such a lifestyle.

The only real disadvantage, in my opinion, is the language - and this would be the same for all other countries where we don't speak the local language. Most other things can be learnt quite quickly, or in a matter of a couple of years, but language aquisition will take a good decade of regular and consistent practice to become fluent and competent.

Costs are relative, and anywhere in the world will have its pros and cons. Plus, these situations are always changing, due to the political policies and the economic situation of a country.

You guys are doing a great service on your channel. I hope you continue to enjoy your life and experiences in Madeira and any trips you may make to mainland Portugal and Europe.

This both looks and sounds like a heavenly break. I hope you all had a fantastic time.

The Douro River Valley is one region I would want to consider. I follow a real estate agent who sells properties in the valley. Incredibly beautiful properties with stunning views. Much of it is out of range for me. He presents in Portuguese and watching his videos has helped a great deal in developing an ear for spoken Portuguese.

You foreigners are the reason Portuguese people cant find places to rent for decent prices. You should stay in your own countries instead of ruining it for the natives, selfish rich tourists that take away the country of the natives by overpaying and tipping raising living prices for the natives. You should be ashamed.

Família o vale do Douro é um dos locais mais bonitos de Portugal , no Outono ainda é mais BELO
FELIZ ANIVERSÁRIO

Lovely 😍😍😍 Portugal.
Thank you

Great videos! Maybe we will see you next year.

Very nice video. We are a group of 6 people from Sweden who going to visit Porto on April the 20th.
We are renting a car and going to be in valley for one full day.
Do we need to book a tour? Or is it ok if we drive with rented vehicle through the valley?

Oh you're so nice couple travelling and changing environment is a great adventure.
