IN THE MOOD FOR GERÊS & DOURO: The Summer Edition | Best Places to Travel in Portugal

Gerês and Douro, two jewels of Northern Portugal and summer destinations you cannot miss. Recently, I set foot in Gerés for the first time. It's been in my radar for a while, being a nature lover. And what a sumptuously green sanctuary it is. The Peneda-Gerês National Park is an absolute outdoor paradise, for lovers of nature retreats, hiking, exploring (or simply just unplugging and swimming in lakes). This is definitely one of my favourite places in Portugal, and a sparkling standout in the Minho province. That said, we tried some delicious Vinho Verde in the region, too.

What's more, I've revisited the Douro Valley, this time at the height of the summer. Douro is notorious for soaring temperatures during the summertime, but it's also an incredible experience witnessing this UNESCO World Heritage landscape working its full summer magic. Sérgio, from Portugal EV Tours, did wonders and toured us around the Douro (again!) in the most sustainable fashion, accompanied by the wine expert Salvador Sommelier.

And just when I thought this trip would end so soon, friends joined us in Porto and we're back on the Douro River again. This time, I realised what ties this journey altogether: kindness. Little acts of kindness, they can send ripples throughout time, and we reap them through the connections we make, the friendships we build, and the passions we pursue. Travel, explore, learn, connect, and then, be kind. ❤️
