Located on the north bank of the Douro, Peso da R\u00e9gua is the nerve center of the Demarcated Port Wine Region. For guests at Casa da Azenha, R\u00e9gua is an unmissable visit, easy to integrate into a day well spent in the valley.<\/p>\n\n
The first contact with R\u00e9gua is almost always by the river. R\u00e9gua pier is now a place for strolling and contemplation, but it carries with it a strong historical memory. It was from here that, for centuries, many rabelo boats loaded with kites set sail for Vila Nova de Gaia.<\/p>\n\n
For those who want to truly understand this region, a visit to the Douro Museum is essential. Housed in a carefully restored historic building, the museum offers a deep and sensitive reading of the Douro territory: the landscape, the wine, the people and the work accumulated over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n
Those looking for a wider perspective of the landscape will find the Miradouro de Sao Leonardo de Galafura one of the most emblematic points in the whole of the Douro. The vastness of the landscape, the endless terraces and the presence of the Serra do Mar\u00e3o create a scene of rare intensity, often described as the visual synthesis of the Douro.<\/p>\n\n
It is also the ideal place to try the best of Douro cuisine in several of its famous restaurants.<\/p>\n\n
