Day Four — Pinhão

Guess where? The sign says it all. Welcome to the charming village of Pinhão on the banks of the Douro River where a few of our gang (Ben, Stephen, Larry and Robin) posed for the camera (well, the iPhone) after our coach journey from Porto this morning (Sunday, September 18).

This is what they were looking at:

The harvest may be over but the vineyards still look magnificent in the sunlight (got up to 31 deg here today). Our artists, joined by Ben, got to work straight away and why wouldn’t they?

Later in the afternoon, we enjoyed a two hour cruise along the Douro to admire the views before checking into Vintage House.

And then on to dinner under the stars before bedtime. A full day of painting (and perhaps a bit of wine tasting) tomorrow.
