Dear Readers,
Because you asked for content about our personal experiences and daily life in Portugal, periodically I’ll publish a short video (about 6 minutes long) about the life Paul and I share in Portugal.
From daily experiences to travel, food and wine, and a few odds and ends, we’ll cover what we’ve been up to.
We’re calling this series, Out & About with Carol and Paul.
This video is Journey Episode 4: Douro Valley Boats & Trains and covers September 2025.
Video Highlights:
Lumina Immersive Light Show in Cascias
Road trip to the Douro Valley
A ride on the Historic Douro Valley Train from Peso da Régua to Tua
A drive up a treacherous mountain to stay at the unique Casa Do Visconde De Chanceleiros guesthouse
A Douro River cruise on a Rabelo (boats that were once used to transport Port barrels down the river).
You can also find all our videos on Our Portugal Journey’s YouTube channel.
I would love to have your feedback and suggestions, so please feel free to leave me a comment.
