点评:DouroWalks has our best recommendations. We spent four days hiking - first day was a guided tour by Antonio, then three days self-guided. The first day served as in introduction to the Douro Valley, not only the landscape and fauna as it is today but also to the way of life that was and glimpses into the way of life that is emerging. Antonio shared his family’s history, and we got a strong sense of the famers’ attachment to the land. Our self-guided hikes took us along ancient terraces, through olive grows and vineyards, along cobbled streets and dirt paths, and inside beautiful villages. Views were spectacular and have made lasting impressions. Clearly the routes had been carefully planned. Perhaps what made the strongest impact was how through centuries the landscape has been crafted by unrelenting human labour. On a steep hill we were fortunate enough to encountered a farmer with his horse plowing a terrace too narrow for a tractor. While we did not meet many people, those we came across were welcoming and seemed pleased that we had travelled so far to experience their world. We had no problem following the Bike with GPS app. Antonio was always available and provided first class service from start to finish.
翻译:杜罗步行有我们最好的建议。我们花了四天的时间徒步旅行 - 第一天是安东尼奥的导游,然后三天是自助游。第一天是对杜罗河谷的介绍,不仅介绍了今天的景观和动物群,还介绍了过去的生活方式,并一睹正在出现的生活方式。安东尼奥分享了他家族的历史,我们感受到了农民对这片土地的强烈依恋。我们的自助徒步旅行沿着古老的梯田,穿过橄榄树和葡萄园,沿着鹅卵石街道和土路,进入美丽的村庄。景色非常壮观,给人留下了深刻的印象。显然,这些路线是经过精心规划的。也许产生最强烈影响的是几个世纪以来,这片景观是如何通过不懈的人类劳动精心打造的。在一座陡峭的山坡上,我们很幸运地遇到了一位农民,他的马正在犁耕对于拖拉机来说太窄的露台。虽然我们没有遇到很多人,但我们遇到的人都很热情,并且似乎很高兴我们走了这么远去体验他们的世界。我们跟随带有 GPS 的自行车应用程序没有任何问题。安东尼奥随时待命,并自始至终提供一流的服务。
