Welcome!
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to
Tabuaço. We are nestled in the most ancient
demarcated region of the world – the Alto
Douro Wine Region, where the well-known "Port
Wine" is produced. We hope you find yourself
fascinated with our landscape and culture,
admirably and
uniquely combined here, as it was recently
acknowledged by UNESCO.
Through careful descriptions and excellent
photographs, this site presents some
important aspects of our wild flora and
fauna, our natural and humanised landscapes,
our history as well as our traditions and
our people's ways of living. We have
opportunely started to create a network of
pedestrian routes in our commune, now
compiled in this Nature Guide. We look
forward to being useful to all those who
like to walk, to interpret nature and the
rural world and, above all, all those who
wish to know Tabuaço and the Douro.
