"Liquid gold: Portugal's stunning Douro river region" by CNN

CNN goes on exploring the DOURO on this delicious article.
A must read:
«Rio Douro roughly translates from Portuguese as "river of gold."
When the setting sun catches it right, you can see why.
The waters gleam like liquid bullion bars.
The Douro cuts across northern Portugal, snaking 200 miles from rugged wilderness on the Spanish frontier to the old city of Oporto and the Atlantic beyond.
Grapes grown on its steeply rising banks have been sending forth legendary port wines for centuries.
It may be the world's most beautiful wine region.
Not enough?
It's also got spectacular landscapes and a scattering of World Heritage sites.
